Basant, First Mehl:
ਦਰਸਨ ਕੀ ਪਿਆਸ ਜਿਸੁ ਨਰ ਹੋਇ ॥
darsan kee pi-aas jis nar ho-ay.
That person, who thirsts for the Blessed Vision of the Lord's Darshan,
ਏਕਤੁ ਰਾਚੈ ਪਰਹਰਿ ਦੋਇ ॥
aykat raachai parhar do-ay.
is absorbed in the One Lord, leaving duality behind.
ਦੂਰਿ ਦਰਦੁ ਮਥਿ ਅੰਮ੍ਰਿਤੁ ਖਾਇ ॥
door darad math amrit khaa-ay.
His pains are taken away, as he churns and drinks in the Ambrosial Nectar.
ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਬੂਝੈ ਏਕ ਸਮਾਇ ॥੧॥
gurmukh boojhai ayk samaa-ay. ||1||
The Gurmukh understands, and merges in the One Lord. ||1||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Whoever thirsts to see the One settles into the One alone, leaving behind the pull of two ways.
Their pains go far away as they churn the sweet nectar and drink it.
The Gurmukh, the one who faces the Guru, understands and melts into the One.
Ache to see the One, and duality falls away into a single love.
A thirst to see the One pulls you out of being torn two ways and into one love.
Darsan kee piaas — a thirst to see the One that ends duality (parhar doe). Math amrit khaae: churning up an inner sweetness, like butter from milk, and drinking it. The Gurmukh, one oriented toward the teaching, dissolves into the One.
