Sorat'h, Fifth Mehl:
ਠਾਢਿ ਪਾਈ ਕਰਤਾਰੇ ॥
thaadh paa-ee kartaaray.
The Creator has brought utter peace to my home;
ਤਾਪੁ ਛੋਡਿ ਗਇਆ ਪਰਵਾਰੇ ॥
taap chhod ga-i-aa parvaaray.
the fever has left my family.
ਗੁਰਿ ਪੂਰੈ ਹੈ ਰਾਖੀ ॥
gur poorai hai raakhee.
The Perfect Guru has saved us.
ਸਰਣਿ ਸਚੇ ਕੀ ਤਾਕੀ ॥੧॥
saran sachay kee taakee. ||1||
I sought the Sanctuary of the True Lord. ||1||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The Maker brought calm right into my home, and the fever let go of my family.
We were kept safe, because we turned to the shelter of the True One.
Sometimes grace looks very ordinary: a fever breaking, a home growing quiet again.
Thaadh paa-ee kartaaray -- the Creator brought coolness, quiet. Taap chhod ga-i-aa parvaaray -- the fever left the household. Sorath here is a raag of comfort in real trouble -- illness in a family -- not abstract theology.
