ਨੀਦ ਸੁਹੇਲੀ ਨਾਮ ਕੀ ਲਾਗੀ ਭੂਖ ॥
need suhaylee naam kee laagee bhookh.
One who feels hunger for the Naam sleeps in peace.
ਹਰਿ ਸਿਮਰਤ ਬਿਨਸੇ ਸਭ ਦੂਖ ॥੨॥
har simrat binsay sabh dookh. ||2||
Meditating in remembrance on the Lord, all pains are dispelled. ||2||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
When you hunger for the Naam, your sleep is sweet and sound.
Remembering the One, every pain goes away.
A settled heart makes for easy rest.
Need suhaylee — peaceful sleep. A lovely, ordinary image: the mind that longs for the One (naam kee laagee bhookh, a hunger for the Name) is a mind at rest, and rests well. Peace of heart shows up even in something as simple as a good night's sleep.
