ਡਖਣੇ ਮਃ ੫ ॥
dakh-nay mehlaa 5.
Dakhanay, Fifth Mehl:
ਜੇ ਤੂ ਮਿਤ੍ਰੁ ਅਸਾਡੜਾ ਹਿਕ ਭੋਰੀ ਨਾ ਵੇਛੋੜਿ ॥
jay too mitar asaadrhaa hik bhoree naa vaychhorh.
If You are my friend, then don't separate Yourself from me, even for an instant.
ਜੀਉ ਮਹਿੰਜਾ ਤਉ ਮੋਹਿਆ ਕਦਿ ਪਸੀ ਜਾਨੀ ਤੋਹਿ ॥੧॥
jee-o mahinjaa ta-o mohi-aa kad pasee jaanee tohi. ||1||
My soul is fascinated and enticed by You; when will I see You, O my Love? ||1||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
If You are my friend, then do not slip away from me, not even for an instant.
My whole heart is pulled toward You. When will I see You, my Love?
The best friend is the one who stays close, moment after moment.
A Dakhanay shalok. The soul asks for constant nearness — not a friend who visits, but a friend who never leaves.
A Question to Sit With
Who do you wish you never had to say goodbye to?
