Fifth Mehl:
ਸਜਣ ਮੁਖੁ ਅਨੂਪੁ ਅਠੇ ਪਹਰ ਨਿਹਾਲਸਾ ॥
sajan mukh anoop athay pahar nihaalsaa.
The face of my friend, the Lord, is incomparably beautiful; I would watch Him, twenty-four hours a day.
ਸੁਤੜੀ ਸੋ ਸਹੁ ਡਿਠੁ ਤੈ ਸੁਪਨੇ ਹਉ ਖੰਨੀਐ ॥੨॥
sut-rhee so saho dith tai supnay ha-o khannee-ai. ||2||
In sleep, I saw my Husband Lord; I am a sacrifice to that dream. ||2||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
My Friend's face is so lovely I could gaze at it all day and all night.
Even in a dream I saw the One I love — and I would give anything for that dream.
When you love someone, even a glimpse in a dream is precious.
A Dakhanay shalok, all sweetness. The Beloved is so dear that even a dream-glimpse is treasured. Love that fills the whole day and night.
A Question to Sit With
Who or what would you happily 'watch all day'?
