mehlaa 5.
Fifth Mehl:
ਮੂ ਥੀਆਊ ਸੇਜ ਨੈਣਾ ਪਿਰੀ ਵਿਛਾਵਣਾ ॥
moo thee-aa-oo sayj nainaa piree vichhaavnaa.
I have become the bed for my Beloved Husband Lord; my eyes have become the sheets.
ਜੇ ਡੇਖੈ ਹਿਕ ਵਾਰ ਤਾ ਸੁਖ ਕੀਮਾ ਹੂ ਬਾਹਰੇ ॥੩॥
jay daykhai hik vaar taa sukh keemaa hoo baahray. ||3||
If You look at me, even for an instant, then I obtain peace beyond all price. ||3||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
I have made myself a soft place for my Beloved to rest, my very eyes the sheets.
If You look at me for even a moment, I find a peace beyond any price.
One loving look can be worth more than any treasure.
A Dakhanay shalok of tender welcome. The soul offers itself as a resting place; a single loving glance is worth more than anything money could buy.
A Question to Sit With
What small moment of kindness has meant a lot to you?
