ਮਃ ੫ ॥
mehlaa 5.
Fifth Mehl:
ਨਾਨਕ ਬੈਠਾ ਭਖੇ ਵਾਉ ਲੰਮੇ ਸੇਵਹਿ ਦਰੁ ਖੜਾ ॥
naanak baithaa bhakhay vaa-o lammay sayveh dar kharhaa.
Nanak sits, waiting for news of the Lord, and stands at the Lord's Door; serving Him for so long.
ਪਿਰੀਏ ਤੂ ਜਾਣੁ ਮਹਿਜਾ ਸਾਉ ਜੋਈ ਸਾਈ ਮੁਹੁ ਖੜਾ ॥੨॥
piree-ay too jaan mahijaa saa-o jo-ee saa-ee muhu kharhaa. ||2||
O my Beloved, only You know my objective; I stand, waiting to see the Lord's face. ||2||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Nanak says: I sit and wait for news of You, and I stand ready at Your door.
You alone know what my heart is reaching for; I am still here, watching for Your face.
Sometimes love just waits, trusting it is understood.
The patience of longing: the soul stands and waits, trusting that the One knows its deepest wish even before it speaks.
A Question to Sit With
What is something worth waiting patiently for?
