ਦਿਲ ਅਗਰ ਦਰ ਹਲਕਾਇ ਜ਼ੁਲਫ਼ਿ ਦੋ ਤਾ ਖ਼ਾਹਦ ਗੁਜ਼ਸ਼ਤ ।
dil agar dar halakaae zulaf do taa khaahad guzashat |In fact, I need my heart and soul (faith) (want to live) only for you."(16) (5) Your firmament like lock of hair is just like a camouflage for the morning, Like a morning sun having been eclipsed under the black clouds. (17) (1) When my moon, while waking up from his day-sleep, came out, It was as if he was imprecating the posture of the morning sun. (17) (2) When you, the Guru, emerged with your sleepy eyes from your Bed of love, The morning sun was chagrined and abashed to compare itself with the radiance of your face. (17) (3) When the slumbering morning sun takes off his veil from its face, With its fortunate arrival, it brings (day)light to the whole world. (17) (4) The whole life of worldly people is an unending night-long vigil and is an ever lasting amnesia, Goyaa says, "However, for me, sleeping during the wee hours of the morning will be forbidden, sinful and morally wrong from now on." (17) (5) This playful eye attracts and takes away my breath, heart and faith, And it is the same lively eye that brings me out of my worries and sorrowful times. (18) (1) One of his locks of hair can create a calamity and disaster in the world, And just one of his eyes can bless the whole world with prosperity. (18) (2) Goyaa is praying, "Wish my heart becomes the dust of the feet of my beloved (Guru) - humility,
ਅਜ਼ ਖ਼ੁਤਨ ਵਜ਼ ਚੀਨੋ ਮਾਚੀਨੋ ਖ਼ਤਾ ਖ਼ਾਹਦ ਗੁਜ਼ਸ਼ਤ ।੧੧।੧।
az khutan vaz cheeno maacheeno khataa khaahad guzashat |11|1|And my sportive eye steers my way towards the Akaalpurakh." (18) (3) Anyone who has tasted the savor of that mirthful eye (of the Guru), Will never care to look at the Narcissus flower again. (18) (4) Goyaa says, "Anyone who has had a glimpse of that sprightly eye (of the Guru) even once,
ਬਾਦਸ਼ਾਹੀ ਬਰ ਦੋ ਆਲਮ ਯੱਕ ਨਿਗਾਹਿ ਰੂਇ ਤੂ ।
baadashaahee bar do aalam yak nigaeh rooe too |would have all his suspicions and illusions completely dispelled.” (18) (5)
ਸਾਇਆਇ ਜ਼ੁਲਫਿ ਤੂ ਅਜ਼ ਬਾਲਿ ਹੁਮਾ ਖਾਹਦ ਗੁਜ਼ਸ਼ਤ ।੧੧।੨।
saaeaae zulaf too az baal humaa khaahad guzashat |11|2|Come back to your senses and rejoice! It is the time for the onset of the new spring season,
ਈਣ ਬਸਾਤਿ ਉਮਰ ਰਾ ਦਰਯਾਬ ਕੀਣ ਬਾਦਿ ਸਬਾ ।
een basaat umar raa darayaab keen baad sabaa |The spring is here, my beloved, the Guru, has arrived, and now my heart is serene and at peace.” (19) (1)
ਅਜ਼ ਕੁਜਾ ਆਮਦ ਨਭਦਾਨਮ ਅਜ਼ ਕੁਜਾ ਖ਼ਹਿਦ ਗੁਜ਼ਸ਼ਤ ।੧੧।੩।
az kujaa aamad nabhadaanam az kujaa khahid guzashat |11|3|My (Guru's) splendor and refulgence have penetrated so much in the pupil of my eye,
ਬਾਦਸ਼ਾਹੀਇ ਜਹਾਣ ਜੁਜ਼ ਸ਼ੋਰੋ ਗ਼ੋਗ਼ਾ ਬੇਸ਼ ਨੀਸਤ ।
baadashaahee jahaan juz shoro gogaa besh neesat |That wherever and in whichever direction, it may look, it sees only the loving face of my beloved, the Guru." (19) (2) I am the slave of my eyes; I turn in the direction in which my eyes direct me and are gazing. What can I do? In fact, what control do we have in this path of love?" (19) (3)
ਪੇਸ਼ਿ ਦਰਵੇਸ਼ੇ ਕਿ ਊ ਅਜ਼ ਮੁਦਆ ਖ਼ਾਹਦ ਗੁਜ਼ਸ਼ਤ ।੧੧।੪।
pesh daraveshe ki aoo az mudaa khaahad guzashat |11|4|Some claimant friends got the news from some one that Manssor,
ਅਜ਼ ਗੁਜ਼ਸ਼ਤਨ ਹਾ ਚਿਹ ਮੀ ਪੁਰਸੀ ਦਰੀਣ ਦੈਰਿ ਖ਼ਰਾਬ ।
az guzashatan haa chih mee purasee dareen dair kharaab |yelling that he was the Lord, was seen proceeding towards the scaffold tonight. (19) (4)
ਬਾਦਸ਼ਾਹ ਖ਼ਾਹਦ ਗੁਜ਼ਜ਼ ਤੋ ਹਮ ਗਦਾ ਖ਼ਾਹਦ ਗੁਜ਼ਸ਼ਤ ।੧੧।੫।
baadashaah khaahad guzaz to ham gadaa khaahad guzashat |11|5|Inform all the flowers to begin blossoming, because
ਸ਼ਿਅਰਿ ਗੋਯਾ ਜ਼ਿੰਦਗੀ-ਬਖ਼ਸ਼ ਅਸਤ ਚੂੰ ਆਬਿ-ਹਯਾਤ ।
shiar goyaa zindagee-bakhash asat choon aabi-hayaat |This good news came from the thousand singing nightingales. (19) (5)
ਬਲਕਿ ਦਰ ਪਾਕੀਜ਼ਗੀ ਜ਼ਿ ਆਬਿ ਬਕਾ ਖ਼ਾਹਦ ਗੁਜ਼ਸ਼ਤ ।੧੧।੬।
balak dar paakeezagee zi aab bakaa khaahad guzashat |11|6|Goyaa says, "The tongue has become dumb out of shame and the heart is distraught on its own instance; Who can complete the story of my unlimited fondness for You, the Guru?" (19) (6)
