ਹਉ ਨਿਰਖਤ ਫਿਰਉ ਸਭਿ ਦੇਸ ਦਿਸੰਤਰ ਮੈ ਪ੍ਰਭ ਦੇਖਨ ਕੋ ਬਹੁਤੁ ਮਨਿ ਚਈਆ ॥
ha-o nirkhat fira-o sabh days disantar mai parabh daykhan ko bahut man cha-ee-aa.
I wander around, exploring all lands and foreign countries; within my mind, I have such a great longing to see my God.
ਮਨੁ ਤਨੁ ਕਾਟਿ ਦੇਉ ਗੁਰ ਆਗੈ ਜਿਨਿ ਹਰਿ ਪ੍ਰਭ ਮਾਰਗੁ ਪੰਥੁ ਦਿਖਈਆ ॥੨॥
man tan kaat day-o gur aagai jin har parabh maarag panth dikha-ee-aa. ||2||
I sacrifice my mind and body to the Guru, who has shown me the Way, the Path to my Lord God. ||2||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
I would travel through every country in the world, I want to see the One so badly.
I would give my whole self to the Guru, who shows me the path that leads to the One.
*Longing will search the whole world for what it loves.*
nirkhat fira-o sabh days disantar -- wandering all lands in longing. man tan kaat day-o gur aagai -- offering the whole self, mind and body, to the Guru who maarag panth dikha-ee-aa (shows the path). The seeking is total, and the offering is pure devotion.
