ਜਿਸੁ ਦੇਹਿ ਦਰਸੁ ਸੋਈ ਤੁਧੁ ਜਾਣੈ ॥
jis deh daras so-ee tuDh jaanai.
They alone know You, whom You bless with Your Glance of Grace.
ਓਹੁ ਗੁਰ ਕੈ ਸਬਦਿ ਸਦਾ ਰੰਗ ਮਾਣੈ ॥
oh gur kai sabad sadaa rang maanai.
Through the Word of the Guru's Shabad, they enjoy Your Love forever.
ਚਤੁਰੁ ਸਰੂਪੁ ਸਿਆਣਾ ਸੋਈ ਜੋ ਮਨਿ ਤੇਰੈ ਭਾਵੀਜਾ ਹੇ ॥੧੧॥
chatur saroop si-aanaa so-ee jo man tayrai bhaaveejaa hay. ||11||
They alone are clever, handsome and wise, who are pleasing to Your Mind. ||11||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The one You bless with a glimpse of You is the one who knows You.
Through the Guru's Word they enjoy Your love, on and on. And the one who pleases You — that one is clever, beautiful and wise.
Wisdom and beauty belong to whoever pleases the One.
jis deh daras so-ee tudh jaanai — only the one blessed with the darshan (glimpse), by grace, knows the One. chatur saroop siaanaa — clever, handsome, wise — is redefined: the wise and beautiful one is whoever is pleasing to the One, inner worth over outer.
A Question to Sit With
What kind of beautiful do you think matters most?
