Saarang, Fifth Mehl:
ਮਾਈ ਰੀ ਪੇਖਿ ਰਹੀ ਬਿਸਮਾਦ ॥
maa-ee ree paykh rahee bismaad.
O mother, I am wonder-struck, gazing upon the Lord.
ਅਨਹਦ ਧੁਨੀ ਮੇਰਾ ਮਨੁ ਮੋਹਿਓ ਅਚਰਜ ਤਾ ਕੇ ਸ੍ਵਾਦ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥
anhad Dhunee mayraa man mohi-o achraj taa kay savaad. ||1|| rahaa-o.
My mind is enticed by the unstruck celestial melody; its flavor is amazing! ||1||Pause||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Mother, I gaze on the One, and I am filled with wonder.
A song no one plays has won my mind. Its taste is amazing.
Underneath everything hums a song no one plays — and hearing it fills you with wonder.
bismaad is wonder-struck awe. The child speaks to maa-ee, mother, the way you run to tell someone you love about something astonishing. anhad dhunee is the unstruck sound — the melody made by no instrument, heard in deep stillness. This wonder is the "Wow!" of the heart. Wonder is the very doorway through which oneness reveals itself.
A Question to Sit With
When was the last time something left you wonder-struck — so amazed you wanted to tell someone?
