ਸਲੋਕ ਡਖਣੇ ਮਃ ੫ ॥
salok dakh-nay mehlaa 5.
Shalok, Dakhanay, Fifth Mehl:
ਲਗੜੀਆ ਪਿਰੀਅੰਨਿ ਪੇਖੰਦੀਆ ਨਾ ਤਿਪੀਆ ॥
lagrhee-aa piree-ann paykhandee-aa naa tipee-aa.
I am centered and focused on my Beloved, but I am not satisfied, even by seeing Him.
ਹਭ ਮਝਾਹੂ ਸੋ ਧਣੀ ਬਿਆ ਨ ਡਿਠੋ ਕੋਇ ॥੧॥
habh majhaahoo so Dhanee bi-aa na ditho ko-ay. ||1||
The Lord and Master is within all; I do not see any other. ||1||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
My whole attention rests on my Beloved, and still I cannot get enough of the sight.
The One lives inside everyone — I look around and see no other.
The One you cannot get enough of is looking back from every face.
A Dakhanay shalok. Two truths side by side: love never tires of the Beloved, and that same Beloved is found in every face. Ik Onkar spoken as lived experience.
A Question to Sit With
What is something beautiful you never tire of looking at?
