Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Let your one wish be to honor and follow the One, who has no form.
Let go of the love of everything else.
Which of Your praises can I sing, my Beloved?
I cannot describe even one of Your good qualities.
My mind is so thirsty to see You.
Nanak says: please come and meet me, O Divine Guru of the whole world.
Make the Formless One your one wish, and let the thirst to meet the One fill your heart.
Mansaa maan ayk nirankayrai: let the one wish be to honor the Formless One. Sagal ti-aagahu bhaa-o doojayrai: let go of every other love. Kavan kahaa ha-o gun pari-a tayrai: which of Your praises can I speak, Beloved? Baran na saaka-o ayk lutayrai: I cannot describe even one. Darsan pi-aas bahut man mayrai: my mind is so thirsty to see You. Mil naanak dayv jagat gur kayrai: come and meet me, Divine Guru of the World. Kaanraa's thirst becomes a warm invitation.
Who do you long to spend time with, more than to talk about?
