ਸਾਜਨੁ ਦੇਖਾ ਤਾ ਗਲਿ ਮਿਲਾ ਸਾਚੁ ਪਠਾਇਓ ਲੇਖੁ ॥
saajan daykhaa taa gal milaa saach pathaa-i-o laykh.
If I see my friend, then I will embrace Him; I have sent Him the letter of Truth.
ਮੁਖਿ ਧਿਮਾਣੈ ਧਨ ਖੜੀ ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਆਖੀ ਦੇਖੁ ॥
mukh Dhimaanai Dhan kharhee gurmukh aakhee daykh.
His soul-bride stands waiting expectantly; as Gurmukh, I see Him with my eyes.
ਤੁਧੁ ਭਾਵੈ ਤੂ ਮਨਿ ਵਸਹਿ ਨਦਰੀ ਕਰਮਿ ਵਿਸੇਖੁ ॥੫॥
tuDh bhaavai too man vaseh nadree karam visaykh. ||5||
By the Pleasure of Your Will, You abide in my mind, and bless me with Your Glance of Grace. ||5||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
If I could just see my dearest Friend, I would run to wrap Him in a hug. I have already sent Him a message straight from my heart.
I stand watching the road, longing and hopeful. And when I turn toward the Guru, I see Him, and feel Him settle right inside me, warm with kindness.
Longing for the One, sincerely, is already the beginning of meeting.
Saajan is the Beloved-friend, and the letter of Truth is the heart's sincere reaching. The soul-bride's waiting is eager, joyful longing. Nadree karam, the glance of grace, is always present.
A Question to Sit With
Who do you look forward to seeing so much you would run to hug them?
