Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
I long for the One the way you long for someone you love and miss.
If only someone would lead me to meet Him! I bow to whoever brings me close; the kind Guru joins us without delay.
I miss the One the way you miss someone you love.
Mai har birhee — I am a birhee, someone who aches from being apart. This ache of love is called birha. Ko-ee aan milaavai maa-ay — if only someone would bring us together, O mother. Think of waiting at the airport for a grandparent you have not seen in years.
Tis aagai mai jodrhee — I fold my hands before whoever helps me meet my Beloved. And the kind True Guru joins us dhil na paa-ay, without any delay.
Is there someone or something you miss in a way that feels like love?
