Oh chhad chaleyaa
raawa manzil pasand nu aapni badal chaleyaa
asi kade ohde lai dil ton khaas si
te oh aj khaas nu shadd kise hor nu khaas banaun chaleyaa
ਉਹ ਛੱਡ ਚਲਿਆਂ
ਰਾਵਾਂ ਮੰਜ਼ਿਲ ਪਸੰਦ ਨੂੰ ਆਪਣੀ ਬਦਲ ਚਲਿਆਂ
ਅਸੀਂ ਕਦੇ ਓਹਦੇ ਲਈ ਦਿਲ ਤੋਂ ਖਾਸ ਸੀ
ਤੇ ਉਹ ਅਜ ਖ਼ਾਸ ਨੂੰ ਸ਼ਡ ਕਿਸੇ ਹੋਰ ਨੂੰ ਖ਼ਾਸ ਬਣਾਉਂਣ ਚਲਿਆਂ
—ਗੁਰੂ ਗਾਬਾ 🌷
Every morning this dog, very attached to me,
Quietly keeps sitting near my seat
Till touching its head
I recognize its company.
This recognition gives it so much joy
Pure delight ripples through its entire body.
Among all dumb creatures
It is the only living being
That has seen the whole man
Beyond what is good or bad in him
It has seen
For his love it can sacrifice its life
It can love him too for the sake of love alone
For it is he who shows the way
To the vast world pulsating with life.
When I see its deep devotion
The offer of its whole being
I fail to understand
By its sheer instinct
What truth it has discovered in man.
By its silent anxious piteous looks
It cannot communicate what it understands
But it has succeeded in conveying to me
Among the whole creation
What is the true status of man.
✍ Tagore
Unjh vekheya jawe taan hanjuaan da koi bhar ni hunda
par ehna de dulan te dil halka zaroor hunda
ਉਂਝ ਵੇਖਿਆ ਜਾਵੇ ਤਾਂ ਹੰਝੂਆਂ ਦਾ ਕੋਈ ਭਾਰ ਨੀ ਹੁੰਦਾ
ਪਰ ਇਹਨਾਂ ਦੇ ਡੁੱਲਣ ਤੇ ਦਿਲ ਹਲਕਾ ਜ਼ਰੂਰ ਹੁੰਦਾ
