ਰਾਮ ਕੋ ਨਿਰਤਿਕਾਰੀ ॥
raam ko nirtikaaree.
This is the rhythmic dance of the Lord.
ਪੇਖੈ ਪੇਖਨਹਾਰੁ ਦਇਆਲਾ ਜੇਤਾ ਸਾਜੁ ਸੀਗਾਰੀ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥
paykhai paykhanhaar da-i-aalaa jaytaa saaj seegaaree. ||1|| rahaa-o.
The Merciful Audience, the Lord, sees all your make-up and decorations. ||1||Pause||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
This is the dance of the One.
The kind Watcher, the One, sees all your costumes and make-up.
You're always seen by an Audience made of kindness.
Life is a dance, and the One watching it is kind.
This is the rahaa-o, the pause line. Raam ko nirtikaaree — this is the Lord's own dance. Pekhanhaar da-i-aalaa — the Watcher is merciful. Life is lived as a performance witnessed not by a judge but by love.
A Question to Sit With
Does it feel different to imagine you're seen by kindness rather than judged?
