A Pristine Lotus
Inspired by the Janamsakhi folklore of Guru Nanak Dev Ji returning after his first Udasi to meet Mata Sulakhni Ji and his sons, this haiku captures his gaze resting upon her amid the gathered multitudes, like a pristine lotus.
eyes rest upon her
in the gathered multitudes
a pristine lotus
Welfare unto all
Rab Rakha
A quiet Sair/Sajja remembrance woven through steaming festive foods, walnut harvests, autumn prayers, and the tender blessings of elders—capturing how traditions carry the warmth of home, faith, family, and generations into the changing season.
Happy Sair
steaming siddus and childus
the taste of winters
through the heaps of walnuts
bountiful harvests and prayers
autumn preparations
as Thee departs for heavens
blessed hands of elders
subtle warmth in fall
gifts of drub tucked behind ears
Welfare unto all
Rab Rakha
