Suhi Mahalla 1

1 Which scales, which weights,
which goldsmith should I call to assay You?

Which Guru should instruct me?
Whom should I approach to assess You?

My Beloved, I do not know your limits,

You pervade the earth, waters and the air above,
You are ever present in all.

2 If I were to use the scales of my mind,
the weights of my consciousness,
and the goldsmith of my service,

If I were to weigh You within myself,
then could I hold my consciousness in balance.

3 You are the indicator, You are the weight,
You are the scales, and You are the assessor.

You observe, You recognize,
and You are the dealer.

4 The mind is ignorant, base and alienated,
it flits from here to there.

Nanak lives in such company,
how can this fool ever find You?
