ਡਖਣੇ ਮਃ ੫ ॥
dakh-nay mehlaa 5.
Dakhanay, Fifth Mehl:
ਡਿਠੀ ਹਭ ਢੰਢੋਲਿ ਹਿਕਸੁ ਬਾਝੁ ਨ ਕੋਇ ॥
dithee habh dhandhol hikas baajh na ko-ay.
I have seen and examined all; without the One Lord, there is none at all.
ਆਉ ਸਜਣ ਤੂ ਮੁਖਿ ਲਗੁ ਮੇਰਾ ਤਨੁ ਮਨੁ ਠੰਢਾ ਹੋਇ ॥੧॥
aa-o sajan too mukh lag mayraa tan man thandhaa ho-ay. ||1||
Come, and show me Your face, O my friend, so that my body and mind may be cooled and soothed. ||1||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
I have looked and looked at everything, and without the One there is simply nothing else.
Come, show me Your face, my friend, so my body and mind can cool and rest.
Look at everything closely enough and you keep finding the One.
A Dakhanay shalok. After the great list of all that passes, the soul's conclusion is simple: only the One is there. And still it longs, tenderly, for the face of the Beloved.
A Question to Sit With
What brings your mind rest at the end of a long day?
