ਅਉਧੂ ਮੇਰਾ ਮਨੁ ਮਤਵਾਰਾ ॥
a-oDhoo mayraa man matvaaraa.
O hermit Yogi, my mind is intoxicated.
ਉਨਮਦ ਚਢਾ ਮਦਨ ਰਸੁ ਚਾਖਿਆ ਤ੍ਰਿਭਵਨ ਭਇਆ ਉਜਿਆਰਾ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥
unmad chadhaa madan ras chaakhi-aa taribhavan bha-i-aa uji-aaraa. ||1|| rahaa-o.
When that wine rises up, one tastes the sublime essence of this juice, and sees across the three worlds. ||1||Pause||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
O wandering yogi, my mind is full of joy, as if it were drunk.
When this joy rises and I taste its sweet essence, all three worlds light up.
Joy that comes from within clears your eyes.
This kind of intoxication is clarity, not confusion: the 'three worlds' light up (tribhavan bha-i-aa ujiaaraa), and awareness opens wide. Joy from within sharpens sight rather than clouding it.
Audhoo means a wandering hermit-yogi, spoken to here as a friend.
