Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
I have wandered a long, long way and felt small and far from home.
Now, please, show me a little kindness — let me see You face to face, and let that be Your gift to me.
However far you have wandered, a little grace can turn you toward home.
Bahutay fayr pa-ay kirpan ka-o — I, a poor and needy one, have gone round and round many times. The verse pictures many rounds of life, a long, long wandering. It is met with a simple prayer: ab kichh kirpaa keejai, now show me some grace.
Hohu da-i-aal darsan dayh apunaa — be kind, and give me Your darshan, the blessed sight of the One. The long wandering is a long search that finally turns toward home. Picture a traveler who spots the porch light of home after a long night drive.
Have you ever felt lost for a while, and then something small helped you find your way?
