Thirsty with desire, I wander around; when will I behold the Lord of the World?

hai ko-ee saajan sant jan naanak parabh maylanhaar. ||1||
Is there any humble Saint, any friend, O Nanak, who can lead me to meet with God? ||1||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Thirsty with longing, I wander; when will I see the Lord of the world?
Nanak says: is there a friend, a saint, who can bring me to meet the One?
Sometimes the way to what you long for is through a friend who has been there.
Aas pi-aasee — thirsty with hope; the seeker's longing. The plea is for a saajan sant — a friend among the saints who can guide the meeting; again and again in the Ruti, we reach the One with the help of holy friends.
A Question to Sit With
Who could help you toward something you have been longing for?
