Fifth Mehl:
ਲੋਇਣ ਲੋਈ ਡਿਠ ਪਿਆਸ ਨ ਬੁਝੈ ਮੂ ਘਣੀ ॥
lo-in lo-ee dith pi-aas na bujhai moo ghanee.
With my eyes, I have seen the Light; my great thirst for Him is not quenched.
ਨਾਨਕ ਸੇ ਅਖੜੀਆ ਬਿਅੰਨਿ ਜਿਨੀ ਡਿਸੰਦੋ ਮਾ ਪਿਰੀ ॥੩॥
naanak say akh-rhee-aa bi-ann jinee disando maa piree. ||3||
O Nanak, these are not the eyes which can see my Beloved Husband Lord. ||3||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
With my eyes I have caught glimpses of the Light, yet my thirst for the One only grows.
Nanak says: these ordinary eyes can only see so much; the sight of my Beloved goes deeper than they reach.
Some love does not fade when it is fed — it grows sweeter.
A Dakhanay shalok about a longing that deepens rather than ends. Seeing the One is a love that keeps opening, with no last page. The eyes that see the Beloved are the eyes of the heart.
A Question to Sit With
What is something you love more the more you know it?
