Phunhay, Verse 7 — the jewel that takes sorrow away
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
A lotus is in my hand, and in the courtyard of my heart I live in peace.
O my friend, a jewel hangs at my throat; just seeing it, sorrow goes away.
I live with the Lord of the World, the treasure of every peace.
O Lord! All riches, all powers and the nine treasures rest in the One's hand.
Living close to the One brings peace that sends sorrow away.
Mayrai haath padam: a lotus in my hand, an old sign of good fortune. Aagan sukh baasnaa: peace lives in the courtyard of the heart. Kanth ratann: a jewel at the throat. Seeing it, dukh naasnaa, sorrow is gone.
Baasa-o sang gupaal: I live with the Lord of the World. RiDh siDh nav niDh: riches, powers and the nine treasures, every good thing anyone could want, all held in the One's hand.
What is something that, just by looking at it, makes you feel at peace?
