ਹਰਿ ਕਾ ਨਾਮੁ ਅੰਮ੍ਰਿਤ ਜਲੁ ਨਿਰਮਲੁ ਇਹੁ ਅਉਖਧੁ ਜਗਿ ਸਾਰਾ ॥
har kaa naam amrit jal nirmal ih a-ukhaDh jag saaraa.
The Name of the Lord, the ambrosial, immaculate water, is the best medicine in the world.
ਗੁਰ ਪਰਸਾਦਿ ਕਹੈ ਜਨੁ ਭੀਖਨੁ ਪਾਵਉ ਮੋਖ ਦੁਆਰਾ ॥੩॥੧॥
gur parsaad kahai jan bheekhan paava-o mokh du-aaraa. ||3||1||
By Guru's Grace, says servant Bheekhan, I have found the Door of Salvation. ||3||1||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The Name of the Beloved is like pure, cool, life-giving water, the finest medicine in all the world.
By grace, says Bhikhan, His servant, I have found it, and with it, a wide-open door into peace and freedom.
The deepest healing is love, freely given, like cool water to the thirsty.
The shabad resolves fully into hope. The Name as amrit jal (nectar-water) is the true medicine, and mokh duaaraa (the door of freedom) opens by grace, always given, never earned. The whole arc moves from frailty to healing, exactly the movement the project cherishes: keep the honesty, bend toward hope.
