Dakhanay, Fifth Mehl:
ਮੂ ਥੀਆਊ ਤਖਤੁ ਪਿਰੀ ਮਹਿੰਜੇ ਪਾਤਿਸਾਹ ॥
moo thee-aa-oo takhat piree mahinjay paatisaah.
I have become the throne for my Beloved Lord King.
ਪਾਵ ਮਿਲਾਵੇ ਕੋਲਿ ਕਵਲ ਜਿਵੈ ਬਿਗਸਾਵਦੋ ॥੧॥
paav milaavay kol kaval jivai bigsaavdo. ||1||
If You place Your foot on me, I blossom forth like the lotus flower. ||1||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
I have made myself a seat for my Beloved to rest upon.
Rest Your weight on me, and I open wide like a lotus in the sun.
Deep trust opens you up like a flower to the sun.
A Dakhanay shalok. Complete welcome and trust: the soul flowers open under the Beloved's touch, the way a lotus opens to light. Surrender pictured as blossoming, not loss.
