ਸੂਹੀ ਮਹਲਾ ੫ ॥
soohee mehlaa 5.
Soohee, Fifth Mehl:
ਜਿਨਿ ਮੋਹੇ ਬ੍ਰਹਮੰਡ ਖੰਡ ਤਾਹੂ ਮਹਿ ਪਾਉ ॥
jin mohay barahmand khand taahoo meh paa-o.
She has enticed the worlds and solar systems; I have fallen into her clutches.
ਰਾਖਿ ਲੇਹੁ ਇਹੁ ਬਿਖਈ ਜੀਉ ਦੇਹੁ ਅਪੁਨਾ ਨਾਉ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥
raakh layho ih bikh-ee jee-o dayh apunaa naa-o. ||1|| rahaa-o.
O Lord, please save this corrupt soul of mine; please bless me with Your Name. ||1||Pause||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The world is full of dazzling, tempting things that catch almost everyone's eye — and mine too; I get pulled right in.
Steady me, One. Help me hold onto what is real, and keep Your Name close in me.
The shiny things catch nearly everyone; it is okay to ask for footing.
The rahaao. jin mohay barahmand khand — that which has enchanted whole worlds; raakh layho ih bikh-ee jee-o — steady this soul so easily pulled off course; dayh apunaa naa-o — grant Your Name. The original's bikh-ee (tainted) is rendered as honest empty-handedness: a soul easily pulled, asking for footing.
A Question to Sit With
What kinds of things pull your attention most easily?
