ਮੈ ਵਿਚਿ ਦੋਸ ਹਉ ਕਿਉ ਕਰਿ ਪਿਰੁ ਪਾਵਾ ॥
mai vich dos ha-o ki-o kar pir paavaa.
I am filled with faults; how can I attain my Husband Lord?
ਤੇਰੇ ਅਨੇਕ ਪਿਆਰੇ ਹਉ ਪਿਰ ਚਿਤਿ ਨ ਆਵਾ ॥੨॥
tayray anayk pi-aaray ha-o pir chit na aavaa. ||2||
You have many loves, but I am not in Your thoughts, O my Husband Lord. ||2||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
I feel full of faults, and I wonder if I even cross the mind of the One I love.
'You have so many who love You — am I even in Your thoughts?'
Sometimes we worry we've been forgotten by someone we love — a real and tender feeling.
A poignant verse of feeling overlooked: "I am filled with faults; how can I attain my Husband? You have many loves, but I am not in Your thoughts." The qMonk voice renders this as the tender human worry of feeling forgotten by someone you love — kept honest but gentle. The shabad will answer it with grace; here it simply voices the loneliness.
