ਭਣਤਿ ਨਾਨਕੁ ਅੰਦੇਸਾ ਏਹੀ ॥
bhanat naanak andaysaa ayhee.
Nanak humbly prays, this is my only concern:
ਬਿਨੁ ਦਰਸਨ ਕੈਸੇ ਰਵਉ ਸਨੇਹੀ ॥੪॥੫॥
bin darsan kaisay rava-o sanayhee. ||4||5||
without the Blessed Vision of my Beloved, how can I enjoy Him? ||4||5||

Nanak says: if I have one wish above all, it is simply this: to see You.
Not to own anything or win anything, just to catch sight of the One I love.
That glimpse, that nearness, is all my heart is asking for.
