Today’s Hukam, Darbar Sahib, Amritsar – Tuesday, July 28, 2015

 

Burning and burning, writhing in pain, I wring my hands. I have gone insane, seeking my Husband Divine. O my Husband Divine, are You angry with me? The fault is with me, and not with You.  || 1 ||  

I do not know Your excellence and worth. Having wasted my youth, now I come to regret and repent.  || 1 ||  Pause  ||  

O black bird, what woe has made you black? “I have been burnt by separation from my Beloved.” Without her Husband Divine, how can the soul-bride ever find peace? When the Divine becomes compassionate, then Union takes place.  || 2 ||  

The lonely bride suffers in the pit of the world. She has no companions, and no friends. In Divine compassion, I was united with the sadh sangat. And when I look again, then I find the Divine as my Helper.  || 3 ||  

The path upon which I must walk is very depressing. It is sharper than a two-edged sword, and very narrow. That is where my path lies. O Sheikh Farid, think of that path early on.  || 4 || 1 ||

Sheikh Farid, Raag Suhi, GGS:794 

 




Words fail me as I listen to today’s Hukam. Eyes mist. Heart aches. Breath tightens.

My Sufi leanings show their colors.

I surrender. I grieve in the agony of separation.

Away from you my heart burns. You left without saying why, you left me alone high and dry.

My heart cannot bear this separation, my mind yearns reconciliation.

Inflamed, I burn. Insane, yells the world. Bestow compassion.

Essence of Essence. Intoxication of Love. I stand in agony. Waiting for you.

I read this Hukam Naama this morning at around 4 am; I was awake having been up writing. After listening to a beautiful shabad over and over again! So could easily relate to the passion and emotion by Bhagat Farid. Ultimately, without passion and longing, the Creator won't even figure in the mind, imagination, psyche and heart ...

Thanks for the translation of today's Hukumnama from Darbar Sahib, Amritsar ... so clear and so beautiful.
