ਸਿਮਰਿ ਸਿਮਰਿ ਗੁਰੁ ਸਤਿਗੁਰੁ ਅਪਨਾ ਸਗਲਾ ਦੂਖੁ ਮਿਟਾਇਆ ॥
simar simar gur satgur apnaa saglaa dookh mitaa-i-aa.
Meditating, meditating in remembrance on my Guru, the True Guru, all pains have been eradicated.
ਤਾਪ ਰੋਗ ਗਏ ਗੁਰ ਬਚਨੀ ਮਨ ਇਛੇ ਫਲ ਪਾਇਆ ॥੧॥
taap rog ga-ay gur bachnee man ichhay fal paa-i-aa. ||1||
The fever and the disease are gone, through the Word of the Guru's Teachings, and I have obtained the fruits of my mind's desires. ||1||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Holding my Teacher in mind again and again, I watched every pain wear away.
The fever and the sickness left through the Teacher’s words, and my heart’s wishes bore fruit.
Steady remembering wears pain down like water on stone.
Simar simar — the doubled verb, remembering and remembering, a steady rhythm. Taap rog ga-ay gur bachnee — the healing is carried by bachan, the Teacher’s word; the word itself is medicine.
