A Single Kind Glance Fills You With Joy

ਦਰਸਨ ਪਿਆਸ ਬਹੁਤੁ ਮਨਿ ਮੇਰੈ ਨਾਨਕ ਦਰਸ ਨਿਹਾਲ ॥੩॥੮॥੯॥
darsan pi-aas bahut man mayrai naanak daras nihaal. ||3||8||9||
Within my mind there is such a great thirst for the Blessed Vision of Your Darshan. Nanak is enraptured with Your Glance of Grace. ||3||8||9||

Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa

In plain words

My heart is so thirsty just to see You.

And a single kind glance from You fills me with joy.

Your heart can thirst just to see the good — and a single kind glance fills you with joy.
The deeper layer

The shabad closes: "within my mind is such a great thirst for the sight of You. Nanak is enraptured with Your Glance of Grace." The longing to see the good, answered by a single kind glance that fills the heart with joy. The colophon (||3||8||9||) closes. For a child: your heart can thirst just to see the good — and a single kind glance fills you with joy.

A Question to Sit With

Has one kind look ever filled you with joy?
