Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
My mind, always sing the songs of joy of the One who cares for the whole world.
Hold the Naam in your heart even for a moment, and all your sickness, sorrow and wrongs are wiped away.
Keep singing to the One with joy, and even one moment of remembering can lift the weight.
This is the rahaa-o, the "pause" line, the center of the shabad. Mangal gobind gaa-ay means "sing joy-songs to Gobind." Gobind is a name for the One who looks after the whole world.
The verse says rog, sog, agh — sickness, sadness, and the weight of old wrongs — can lift away. How long does it take? A nimakh, a single blink. Holding the One in your heart for just a moment opens that healing. It isn't a reward earned by long, hard work. Think of opening a window in a stuffy room. Fresh air comes in the moment you open it.
What is a song or thought that lifts your mood almost instantly?
