The Nectar and the Dust
چوٚن ییٚلہِ دِنَے امرت مٹَے
Chon yeli dinay amrit matay
چوٚن ییٚلہِ دِنَے امرت مٹَے
Chon yeli dinay amrit matay
When offered a cask of nectar to drink
وۄدُر مو یِکہٕ وَٹَہٕ بر
Wodur mo yikiwate bar
Do not hastily fill your belly to the brim
دیہٚہ چی خاک ڈیٖشتھ نَٹے
Deh che khaak deeshith natay
I tremble to see that this body is mere dust!
شِہج پنٕنؠ گٹَہٕ کر
Shihij panin gatte kar
Bring peace to your own inner darkness
Nund Rishi
