Please, grant Your Grace, and cherish me.
ਜੀਉ ਪਿੰਡੁ ਸਭੁ ਤੁਮਰਾ ਮਾਲਾ ॥੧॥
jee-o pind sabh tumraa maalaa. ||1||
My soul and body are all Your property. ||1||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
I sing about the kind One who holds the whole world — and I ask, quietly, to catch a glimpse, to really see.
Take care of me the way You always do. My whole self, body and breath, belongs to You anyway.
Everything I am already belongs to the One I am longing to see.
This pauri merges the rahaao with the first verse. gobindaa gun gaao da-i-aalaa and darsan dayh (grant me the sight) form the pause; then jee-o pind sabh tumraa — soul and body are all Yours. The plea for darsan, a glimpse of the face, is Soohee's most characteristic longing.
A Question to Sit With
What is something you long to see or be near, even from far away?
