ਦਰਮਾਦੇ ਠਾਢੇ ਦਰਬਾਰਿ ॥
darmaaday thaadhay darbaar.
I stand humbly at Your Court.
ਤੁਝ ਬਿਨੁ ਸੁਰਤਿ ਕਰੈ ਕੋ ਮੇਰੀ ਦਰਸਨੁ ਦੀਜੈ ਖੋਲਿ੍ਹ੍ਹ ਕਿਵਾਰ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥
tujh bin surat karai ko mayree darsan deejai kholiH kivaar. ||1|| rahaa-o.
Who else can take care of me, other than You? Please open Your door, and grant me the Blessed Vision of Your Darshan. ||1||Pause||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
I stand humbly at Your court, empty-handed.
Who else looks after me the way You do? Open Your door, and let me see You.
Sometimes the whole prayer is just: let me see You.
darmaaday thaadhay darbaar — standing as a humble petitioner at the court. darsan deejai kholiH kivaar — "open the door, grant the darshan." The longing for direct seeing, not just talk about the One.
A Question to Sit With
