ਮਨੁ ਬੇਧਿਆ ਦਇਆਲ ਸੇਤੀ ਮੇਰੀ ਮਾਈ ॥
man bayDhi-aa da-i-aal saytee mayree maa-ee.
My mind is pierced through by the Merciful Lord, O my mother!
ਕਉਣੁ ਜਾਣੈ ਪੀਰ ਪਰਾਈ ॥
ka-un jaanai peer paraa-ee.
Who can know the pain of another?
ਹਮ ਨਾਹੀ ਚਿੰਤ ਪਰਾਈ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥
ham naahee chint paraa-ee. ||1|| rahaa-o.
I think of none other than the Lord. ||1||Pause||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
O my mother, the Kind One has pierced my heart clean through.
Who can know another's pain? I think of no one else.
Love for the Kind One lands so deep it quietly reorders where your whole heart rests.
man bayDhi-aa da-i-aal saytee: the mind is pierced through by the Merciful One. mayree maa-ee: the tender address to one's mother, a mark of intimate feeling. ka-un jaanai peer paraa-ee: who can know another's inner pain? The Beloved does. ham naahee chint paraa-ee: I hold no thought of any other. At the heart of the Rahao: love that has landed so deep it reorders where the whole mind rests.
