Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
O wise one, say the Naam of the One, day and night.
All hunger and thirst are gone for those who, through the Guru's teaching, taste the sweetness of the One.
Say the Naam day and night, and the taste of the One settles every hunger and thirst.
This is the rahaa-o, the "pause" line, the center of the shabad. Gi-aanee har bolhu din raat: O wise one, say the Naam of the One, day and night. A gi-aanee is someone who knows, someone wise.
Tinh kee trisnaa bhookh sabh utree: all their trisnaa, thirst, and hunger are gone, jo gurmat raam ras khaaNt, for those who taste the sweetness of the One through the Guru's teaching. Malaar is the raag of the rains, and here thirst is quenched. Think of a long drink of cold water after a hot afternoon of play.
What is a hunger inside you that food or things do not seem to fill?
