Sorat'h, Fifth Mehl:
ਜਨਮ ਜਨਮ ਕੇ ਦੂਖ ਨਿਵਾਰੈ ਸੂਕਾ ਮਨੁ ਸਾਧਾਰੈ ॥
janam janam kay dookh nivaarai sookaa man saDhaarai.
He dispels the pains of countless incarnations, and lends support to the dry and shrivelled mind.
ਦਰਸਨੁ ਭੇਟਤ ਹੋਤ ਨਿਹਾਲਾ ਹਰਿ ਕਾ ਨਾਮੁ ਬੀਚਾਰੈ ॥੧॥
darsan bhaytat hot nihaalaa har kaa naam beechaarai. ||1||
Beholding the Blessed Vision of His Darshan, one is enraptured, contemplating the Name of the Lord. ||1||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The One clears away pains carried for a long, long time, and brings a dried-up, tired heart back to life.
Just to catch sight of that presence fills me with joy, as I turn the One’s Name over in my mind.
A tired, dried-up heart can be brought back to life.
Sookaa man sadhaarai — a “dry,” parched mind is watered again. Darsan is the blessed sight of the One. The phrase janam janam is rendered gently as “carried for a long time,” keeping the feeling of long-held pain finally easing.
