ਦ੍ਰਿਸਟਿ ਨਾਹੀ ਰੇ ਪੇਖਤ ਅੰਧੇ ॥
darisat naahee ray paykhat anDhay.
You do not see with your eyes - you are so blind!
ਛੋਡਿ ਜਾਹਿ ਝੂਠੇ ਸਭਿ ਧੰਧੇ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥
chhod jaahi jhoothay sabh DhanDhay. ||1|| rahaa-o.
You shall have to leave all these false affairs. ||1||Pause||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
It is possible to have working eyes and still not really see what matters.
And all the busy, hollow things we cling to — one day we simply set them down and move on.
You can have perfect eyes and still miss what matters most.
A Rahao refrain. darisat naahee ray peykhat anDhay — not-yet-seeing, kept as a gentle wake-up rather than an insult. chhod jaahi jhoothay sabh DhanDhay — the reminder that the hollow DhanDhay (busy affairs) are things we eventually let go of anyway, so why let them run us now.
