ਤੁਧੁ ਬਿਨੁ ਦੂਜੇ ਕਿਸੁ ਸਾਲਾਹੀ ॥
tuDh bin doojay kis saalaahee.
Other than You, who else should I praise?
ਏਕੋ ਏਕੁ ਜਪੀ ਮਨ ਮਾਹੀ ॥
ayko ayk japee man maahee.
I meditate on the One and Only Lord within my mind.
ਹੁਕਮੁ ਬੂਝਿ ਜਨ ਭਏ ਨਿਹਾਲਾ ਇਹ ਭਗਤਾ ਕੀ ਘਾਲਣਾ ॥੧੧॥
hukam boojh jan bha-ay nihaalaa ih bhagtaa kee ghaalnaa. ||11||
Realizing the Hukam of Your Will, Your humble servants are enraptured; this is the achievement of Your devotees. ||11||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Who else would I praise, but You?
I remember the One and only One in my mind.
Understanding Your command, Your servants are filled with joy. This is what Your devotees work for.
Understanding the One's command fills the devotees with joy.
There is no other to praise; the mind rests on the One alone. Understanding the Hukam — the flow of existence — and stepping into it, the devotees are enraptured. This quiet joy is named as the devotees' own ghaalnaa, the earnest work of a lifetime.
A Question to Sit With
What flow in your life feels better to move with than to fight against?
