Mittar Pyare Nu
This is the beautiful shabad by the tenth master, Guru Gobind Singh recited in the Machhivara forest when the Master was separated from everyone; not everyone because the connection to the Lord remain strong as always! Please listen to the videos at the bottom of this page.
ਮਿਤਰ ਪਿਆਰੇ ਨੂੰ ਹਾਲ ਮਰੀਦਾ ਦਾ ਕਹਿਣਾ ॥ ਤਧ ਬਿਨ ਰੋਗ ਰਜਾਈਆ ਦਾ ਓਢਣ ਨਾਗ ਨਿਵਾਸਾ ਦੇ ਹਹਿਣਾ ॥ |
mithr piaarae noo(n) haal mureedhaa dhaa kehinaa ॥ thudhh bin rog rajaaeeaa dhaa oudtan naag nivaasaa dhae hehinaa ॥ |
Please tell the dear friend - the Lord - the plight of his disciples. Without You, rich blankets are a disease and the comfort of the house is like living with snakes. |
