ਹਰਿ ਦਰਸਨੁ ਦੇਹੁ ਹਰਿ ਆਸ ਤੁਮਾਰੀ ॥
har darsan dayh har aas tumaaree.
O Lord, grant me the Blessed Vision of Your Darshan; I place my hopes in You, Lord.
ਕਰਿ ਕਿਰਪਾ ਲੋਚ ਪੂਰਿ ਹਮਾਰੀ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥
kar kirpaa loch poor hamaaree. ||1|| rahaa-o.
Shower me with Your Mercy, and fulfill my longing. ||1||Pause||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Let me see you, O One; all my hope is in you. Pour your mercy on me and fill the longing in my heart.
Show me yourself, and fill the longing -- the prayer of a heart that hopes only in the One.
The Rahao is a prayer for darshan (the blessed vision) and the fulfillment of longing by mercy. The structure is pure dependence: hope placed in the One, the longing filled not by the seeker's effort but by grace (viraha).
A Question to Sit With
What is a deep longing you carry? What would it feel like to have it filled?
