The unseen Giver

With my cupped lips, wow
half-closed lips,
There was a touch.
Who did that?

That was a cosmic taste,
Sweetness shivered me,
My every hair cheered.
Who was that?

My complete is in pleasure,
In love, I am
to my beautiful self
Filled with a sublime essence.
The taste has infilterated me.

So sad,
so bad
I could not see Him.
Who gave me all that.
Such was His bliss to me,
But He hides
Why?

A translation of Bhai Sahib Bhai Veer Singh Ji poem, ANDITHA RASDATA.

that is such a beautiful poem. thanks for posting, wadde veer ji

ਅਣਡਿਠਾ ਰਸਦਾਤਾ

ਬੁੱਲਾਂ ਅਧਖੁੱਲਿਆਂ ਨੂੰ, ਹਾਇ
ਮੇਰੇ ਬੁੱਲਾਂ ਅਧਮੀਟਿਆਂ ਨੂੰ
ਛੁਹ ਗਿਆ ਨੀ, ਲਗ ਗਿਆ ਨੀ
ਕੌਣ ਕੁਛ ਲਾ ਗਿਆ ?

ਸਵਾਦ ਨੀ ਅਗੰਮੀ ਆਯਾ
ਰਸ ਝਰਨਾਟ ਛਿੜੀ,
ਲੂੰ ਲੂੰ ਲਹਿਰ ਉਠਿਆ
ਤੇ ਕਾਂਬਾ ਮਿੱਠਾ ਆ ਗਿਆ I

ਹੋਈ ਆਂ ਸੁਆਦ ਸਾਰੀ,
ਆਪੇ ਤੋਂ ਮੈਂ ਆਪ ਵਾਰੀ,
ਐਸੀ ਰਸ ਭਰੀ ਹੋਈ
ਸਵਾਦ ਸਾਰੇ ਧਾ ਗਿਆ I

ਹਾਇ, ਦਾਤਾ ਦਿਸਿਆ ਨਾ
ਸਵਾਦ ਜਿਨੇ੍ ਦਿਤਾ ਐਸਾ,
ਦੇਂਦਾ ਰਸਦਾਨ ਦਾਤਾ
ਆਪਾ ਕਿਉਂ ਲੁਕਾ ਗਿਆ ?

Poetic translations, as expected, are always incomplete. So is the above one. I have tried some different words at many places. I lack english vacabulary too. Suggestions, changes, are welcome and requested Ji. New translations can also be tried please.

With my cupped lips, wow
half-closed lips,
There was an anointment
Who put that to my lips?

That was a cosmic taste,
Sweetness shivered me,
My every hair cheered.
Who was that?

My complete being is in pleasure,
In love, I am
to my beautiful self
Filled with a sublime essence.
The taste has intoxicated me.

Oh my,
I could not see Him.
Who gave me all that.
Such was His bliss to me,
So why has he hid himself from me?

When will I learn to bear this taste?
This invigorating taste
half closed eyes I walk down this path
carefree and drunk in my love filled state
The greatness of this taste
has lead me to yearn for more with haste.

Preetam Preetam come back to me
give me more of this elixir
don't leave me please
not in this state

Wonderful job Sukhdev Singh jeeo.

Thanks Bhai MB Singh jee for bringing this gem of Bhai Vir Singh to our attention.

Thanks for posting the original poem in Gurmukhi Veer MB Singh Ji...

ਇਸ ਰਸ ਭਿੰਨੀ ਰਚਨਾ ਦਾ ਵਖਰਾ ਹੀ ਸਵਾਦ ਆ ਗਯਾ...ਕੋਟਾਨ ਕੋਟ ਧਨਵਾਦ

Sweet poetry, I'm going to copy it and paste it into a word file to read it again whenever. Would you mind?

Bhein Ji, the poem was translated with hope that it will receive improvements. One done by Sukhdev Singh Ji is excellant. Original Punjabi Version by Bhai Sahib Ji is best. There is nothing to mind. You may improve it further.
