Those I Followed Now Walk Beside Me

dakh-nay mehlaa 5.
Dakhanay, Fifth Mehl:
ਜਿਨਾ ਪਿਛੈ ਹਉ ਗਈ ਸੇ ਮੈ ਪਿਛੈ ਭੀ ਰਵਿਆਸੁ ॥
jinaa pichhai ha-o ga-ee say mai pichhai bhee ravi-aas.
Those whom I followed, now follow me.
ਜਿਨਾ ਕੀ ਮੈ ਆਸੜੀ ਤਿਨਾ ਮਹਿਜੀ ਆਸ ॥੧॥
jinaa kee mai aasrhee tinaa mahijee aas. ||1||
Those in whom I placed my hopes, now place their hopes in me. ||1||

Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa

In plain words

The ones I once looked up to and followed now walk alongside me.

The ones I placed my hopes in now place their hopes in me.

Follow the light long enough and you become a light for others.
The deeper layer

A Dakhanay shalok about how the humble seeker becomes someone others lean on. Follow the light long enough, and you become a light for others.

A Question to Sit With

Who is someone younger who looks up to you?
