Mittar Pyare nu
Appearance
This is a beautiful Shabad Composed by Guru Gobind Singh in Machhiwara after the Battle of Chamkaur.[1][2][1]
1) Tell the beloved friend about the state of his devotees.
2) Without you, we feel sick wrapping ourselves in our quilts, it's like living in a snakepit.
3) The flask is a thorn in the side, the cup a dagger, it's like enduring the butcher's blows.
4) Better to sleep on the ground near the beloved; staying in the village is like being in a furnace.[3]
