ਡਖਣੇ ਮਃ ੫ ॥
dakh-nay mehlaa 5.
Dakhanay, Fifth Mehl:
ਲੋੜੀਦੋ ਹਭ ਜਾਇ ਸੋ ਮੀਰਾ ਮੀਰੰਨ ਸਿਰਿ ॥
lorheedo habh jaa-ay so meeraa meerann sir.
I have searched everywhere for the King over the heads of kings.
ਹਠ ਮੰਝਾਹੂ ਸੋ ਧਣੀ ਚਉਦੋ ਮੁਖਿ ਅਲਾਇ ॥੧॥
hath manjhaahoo so Dhanee cha-udo mukh alaa-ay. ||1||
That Master is within my heart; I chant His Name with my mouth. ||1||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
I searched everywhere for the King who is above every king.
And that One was inside my own heart all along; now I speak the Name with joy.
The greatest One of all was waiting in your own heart.
A Dakhanay shalok. The grand search ends in the smallest, nearest place — one's own heart. True royalty is inward.
A Question to Sit With
What is something you searched far for that was close by?
