Fifth Mehl:
ਨਾਨਕ ਬਿਜੁਲੀਆ ਚਮਕੰਨਿ ਘੁਰਨ੍ਹ੍ਹਿ ਘਟਾ ਅਤਿ ਕਾਲੀਆ ॥
naanak bijulee-aa chamkann ghurniH ghataa at kaalee-aa.
O Nanak, the lightning flashes, and thunder echoes in the dark black clouds.
ਬਰਸਨਿ ਮੇਘ ਅਪਾਰ ਨਾਨਕ ਸੰਗਮਿ ਪਿਰੀ ਸੁਹੰਦੀਆ ॥੨॥
barsan maygh apaar naanak sangam piree suhandee-aa. ||2||
The downpour from the clouds is heavy; O Nanak, the soul-brides are exalted and embellished with their Beloved. ||2||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Nanak says: the lightning flashes and the thunder rolls in the dark rain-clouds.
The rain pours down full and generous — and hearts open wide, glad and radiant with their Beloved.
Grace can pour down like a long-awaited rain.
A Dakhanay shalok using the monsoon, the long-awaited rain that ends the dry season, as a picture of grace pouring down. The waiting heart, like the parched earth, blossoms when the downpour finally comes.
A Question to Sit With
What have you waited a long time for that finally came?
