For so many incarnations, I have been separated from You, Lord; I dedicate this life to You.

ੴ ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਪ੍ਰਸਾਦਿ ॥

ik-oNkaar satgur parsaad. One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

ਹਮ ਸਰਿ ਦੀਨੁ ਦਇਆਲੁ ਨ ਤੁਮ ਸਰਿ ਅਬ ਪਤੀਆਰੁ ਕਿਆ ਕੀਜੈ ॥

ham sar deen da-i-aal na tum sar ab patee-aar ki-aa keejai.

There is none as forlorn as I am, and none as Compassionate as You; what need is there to test us now?

ਬਚਨੀ ਤੋਰ ਮੋਰ ਮਨੁ ਮਾਨੈ ਜਨ ਕਉ ਪੂਰਨੁ ਦੀਜੈ ॥੧॥

bachnee tor mor man maanai jan ka-o pooran deejai. 1

May my mind surrender to Your Word; please, bless Your humble servant with this perfection. 1

ਹਉ ਬਲਿ ਬਲਿ ਜਾਉ ਰਮਈਆ ਕਾਰਨੇ ॥

ha-o bal bal jaa-o rama-ee-aa kaarnay.

I am a sacrifice, a sacrifice to the Lord.

ਕਾਰਨ ਕਵਨ ਅਬੋਲ ॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥

kaaran kavan abol. rahaa-o.

O Lord, why are You silent? Pause

ਬਹੁਤ ਜਨਮ ਬਿਛੁਰੇ ਥੇ ਮਾਧਉ ਇਹੁ ਜਨਮੁ ਤੁਮ੍ਹ੍ਹਾਰੇ ਲੇਖੇ ॥

bahut janam bichhuray thay maaDha-o ih janam tumHaaray laykhay.

For so many incarnations, I have been separated from You, Lord; I dedicate this life to You.

ਕਹਿ ਰਵਿਦਾਸ ਆਸ ਲਗਿ ਜੀਵਉ ਚਿਰ ਭਇਓ ਦਰਸਨੁ ਦੇਖੇ ॥੨॥੧॥

kahi ravidaas aas lag jeeva-o chir bha-i-o darsan daykhay. 21

Says Ravi Daas: placing my hopes in You, I live; it is so long since I have gazed upon the Blessed Vision of Your Darshan. 21
