Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
This whole world is sick with wrong ways.
Your Naam is the only medicine. Nothing else works, O Creator without end.
The whole world catches a restless sickness, and the Naam is the one medicine that cures it.
This is the rahau, the pause line that holds the heart of the whole shabad. Ih sansaar sagal bikaar: this whole world is full of bikaar, a disorder of the mind, the restless ache of craving that keeps people chasing. Against it, tayraa naam daaroo, Your Naam is the cure. Avar naasat means nothing else works as a remedy, and karanhaar apaar calls to the infinite Doer, the Maker without limit. The one lasting medicine for restlessness is remembrance.
What do you reach for when you feel restless, and does it leave you satisfied?
