SGGS Angg 1396.

Sawaiyee – Bhatt Palh Ji.

Bhatt Palh Ji has only one Swaiyya in SGGS Ji, which is in Praise of Guru Amardas Ji. It is rich in imagery and draws an amazing tapestry through which the Glory of Guru Amardas Ji is described.

The raindrops of the clouds, the plants on earth, and the flowers of spring cannot be counted.

“Ghanhar boondh baso romaval kusam basant ganantt na aave.”

Who can know the limits of the rays of the sun and the moonbeams, the waves of the oceans and the Ganges?

“Rab sass kiran udhar saagar ko gangg trangg antt ko paave.”

(Yet) with the intensity of Shiva’s meditation and the spiritual wisdom of the Satguru, Palh the poet in all humility says, these may be counted.

“Rudar dhyan gyan Satgur ke kabh jan Palh unho jo gaave.”

(But) O Gracious Guru Amardas Ji, Your Glory befits only You (and is beyond any count).

“Bhale Amardas Gunn Tere Teri Upma Tohe bann aave.”
