ਡਖਣੇ ਮਃ ੫ ॥
dakh-nay mehlaa 5.
Dakhanay, Fifth Mehl:
ਜਾ ਮੂ ਪਸੀ ਹਠ ਮੈ ਪਿਰੀ ਮਹਿਜੈ ਨਾਲਿ ॥
jaa moo pasee hath mai piree mahijai naal.
When I look within my being, I find that my Beloved is with me.
ਹਭੇ ਡੁਖ ਉਲਾਹਿਅਮੁ ਨਾਨਕ ਨਦਰਿ ਨਿਹਾਲਿ ॥੧॥
habhay dukh ulaahi-am naanak nadar nihaal. ||1||
All pains are relieved, O Nanak, when He bestows His Glance of Grace. ||1||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
When I look quietly inside myself, I find that my Beloved was with me all along.
Nanak says: every pain eases when that kind glance falls on me.
What you were searching for outside was inside the whole time.
A Dakhanay shalok, and a turning point: the One searched for outside is discovered within. The Glance of Grace (nadar) is freely given, never earned — pain simply lifts in its light.
A Question to Sit With
Have you ever found something that was with you all along?
