Nurturing hope, I have come to beg from God.

Gazing upon You, the courtyard of my heart is embellished. ||1||Pause||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Full of hope, I have come to ask of You, my Lord.
Just seeing You, the courtyard of my heart shines.
Come with hope and open hands, and just turning toward the One makes the inside of you brighter.
Everything here is hopeful asking: kar aasaa aa-i-o prabh maagan — nurturing hope, I have come to beg. What is asked for cannot be self-manufactured; it is received. Tumh paykhat sobhaa mayrai aagan — merely by beholding You, the inner courtyard is adorned. The darshan, the seeing, is itself the beautifying.
A Question to Sit With
What makes the inside of you feel brighter — not your room, but your heart?
