Fifth Mehl:
ਮੁਖ ਸੁਹਾਵੇ ਨਾਮੁ ਚਉ ਆਠ ਪਹਰ ਗੁਣ ਗਾਉ ॥
mukh suhaavay naam cha-o aath pahar gun gaa-o.
One's face becomes beautiful, chanting the Naam, the Name of the Lord, and singing His Glorious Praises, twenty-four hours a day.
ਨਾਨਕ ਦਰਗਹ ਮੰਨੀਅਹਿ ਮਿਲੀ ਨਿਥਾਵੇ ਥਾਉ ॥੩॥
naanak dargeh manee-ah milee nithaavay thaa-o. ||3||
O Nanak, in the Court of the Lord, you shall be accepted; even the homeless find a home there. ||3||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
A face lights up from the inside when the heart sings the Name through the whole day.
Nanak says, in the One's court that heart is welcomed, and even those who felt they belonged nowhere find a home.
There is a home where even those who belong nowhere are welcome.
A Dakhanay shalok. Kirtan and simran brighten the face because they brighten the heart. The closing line is pure inclusion — the One's door turns no one away; the homeless find home.
A Question to Sit With
Who around you might need to feel more welcome?
