ਦਰਸਨ ਨਾਮ ਕਉ ਮਨੁ ਆਛੈ ॥

My mind longs for the Blessed Vision of the Lord's Darshan, and His Name.
ਭ੍ਰਮਿ ਆਇਓ ਹੈ ਸਗਲ ਥਾਨ ਰੇ ਆਹਿ ਪਰਿਓ ਸੰਤ ਪਾਛੈ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥
bharam aa-i-o hai sagal thaan ray aahi pari-o sant paachhai. ||1|| rahaa-o.
I have wandered everywhere, and now I have come to follow the Saint. ||1||Pause||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
My mind longs to see the One and its Name.
I've wandered everywhere, and now I've come to follow the good.
All the wandering leads, finally, to a simple act — following the good; the search often ends where it could have begun.
The Pause line reports the end of a long search — "I have wandered everywhere, and now I have come to follow the Saint." All the roaming led, finally, to a simple act: following the good. The longing to "see" the One resolves into keeping company with those who already have. The search ends where it could have begun.
A Question to Sit With
After your own wandering, what simple thing have you come back around to?
