ALS NaPoWriMo Day 27 Prompt: Your eyes speak to me

Poem: The Divine Bond

 

“Ek Onkar ੴ  (There is only one God)”

I have felt in your eyes since I was a child

 

My morning dawns with your blessings divine

As I open my eyes, and thank you for another day in my life

 

With folded hands when I look into your eyes,

“Bharosa Rakh (Trust me),” your eyes assure me with a smile

 

When conundrum of life I feel inept to resolve,

In my ears chimes, “So Satguru pyaara mere naal hai, Jithe kithe mainu lay chhadayi”

(That Beloved True Guru is always with me, wherever I may be, He will save me.)

 

I oft lose my way in this realm labyrinthine,

You silently guide me to your holy shrine

 

“Nanak chinta mat karo (Guru Nanak says, ‘Do not worry’)”

Echoes in my being, instilling faith in your might

 

My worries, resentments, apprehensions and fears,

Melt in the wisdom of your verses divine

 

An unwavering trust I discern in you, Waheguru,

I know you are always walking beside

 

You shape my dreams when I soar high,

You help me express when I sit to write

 

In your presence, I feel an eternal peace,

Your captivating eyes convince me of my feat

 

I’ve been searching forever for meaning of my life,

In your loving grace, I’m sure I shall find

 

Charan sharan gur ek painda jae chal

Satgur kot painda aage hoye let hai

(If you walk just one step towards the sanctuary of the Guru’s feet,

the Guru takes millions of steps to receive you.)
