ਡਖਣੇ ਮਃ ੫ ॥
dakh-nay mehlaa 5.
Dakhanay, Fifth Mehl:
ਪਰਭਾਤੇ ਪ੍ਰਭ ਨਾਮੁ ਜਪਿ ਗੁਰ ਕੇ ਚਰਣ ਧਿਆਇ ॥
parbhaatay parabh naam jap gur kay charan Dhi-aa-ay.
In the early hours of the morning, chant the Name of God, and meditate on the Feet of the Guru.
ਜਨਮ ਮਰਣ ਮਲੁ ਉਤਰੈ ਸਚੇ ਕੇ ਗੁਣ ਗਾਇ ॥੧॥
janam maran mal utrai sachay kay gun gaa-ay. ||1||
The filth of birth and death is erased, singing the Glorious Praises of the True Lord. ||1||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
In the fresh, early hours, sing the Name and rest your mind at the Guru's feet.
The heavy dust of coming and going washes away in that quiet praise.
A quiet morning song can wash the heaviness off a heart.
A Dakhanay shalok. Amrit vela again — the still hours before the day begins. Singing the True One's praise in those hours lifts the heavy dust of coming and going from a restless, wandering mind.
A Question to Sit With
What is a calm way you could start your morning?
