ਗੁਲਿ ਹੋਲੀ ਬਬਾਗ਼ਿ ਦਹਿਰ ਬੂ ਕਰਦ ।
gul holee babaag dahir boo karad |These earthen dolls, human beings, have been made sacred only because of Him, since His own image abides in all of them,
ਲਬਿ ਚੂੰ ਗੁੰਚਾ ਰਾ ਫ਼ਰਖੰਦਾ ਖ਼ੂ ਕਰਦ ।੩੩।੧।
lab choon gunchaa raa farakhandaa khoo karad |33|1|And, I have perceived the All-Protective Lord, and remain imbued in His remembrance. (57) (3)
ਗੁਲਾਬੋ ਅੰਬਰੋ ਮਸ਼ਕੋ ਅਬੇਰੀ ।
gulaabo anbaro mashako aberee |I have placed my head at the lotus feet of my great King Master,
ਚੂ ਬਾਰਾਨਿ ਬਾਰਿਸ਼ਿ ਅਜ਼ ਸੂ ਬਸੂ ਕਰਦ ।੩੩।੨।
choo baaraan baarish az soo basoo karad |33|2|And, I have washed my hands off from both the worlds, this and the next." (57) (4) There is nothing else except his refulgence in everyone's eye, That is why, I have always sought the company of saintly persons. (57) (5) Goyaa says, "I have become a particle of the dust under His feet,
ਜ਼ਹੇ ਪਿਚਕਾਰੀਏ ਪੁਰ ਜ਼ਾਅਫ਼ਰਾਨੀ ।
zahe pichakaaree pur zaafaraanee |Since I have got hold of the strings of His robe surrendered myself and sought and got His shield." (57) (6) Goyaa asks, "Who is Goyaa? " meditator of the Naam of "kaalpurakh,
ਕਿ ਹਰ ਬੇਰੰਗ ਰਾ ਖ਼ੁਸ਼ਰੰਗੋ ਬੂ ਕਰਦ ।੩੩।੩।
ki har berang raa khusharango boo karad |33|3|That is the reason that he is shining in this world like the sun." (57) (7) Goyaa says, "I am a man of love and devotion; I do not recognize God;
ਗੁਲਾਲਿ ਅਫ਼ਸ਼ਾਨੀਇ ਦਸਤਿ ਮੁਬਾਰਿਕ ।
gulaal afashaanee dasat mubaarik |I do not know blatant vulgar abuses and do not perceive blessings." (58) (1) Goyaa says, "I am madly in love with my Beloved who is also captivated by me,
ਜ਼ਮੀਨੋ ਆਸਮਾਂ ਰਾ ਸੁਰਖ਼ੁਰੂ ਕਰਦ ।੩੩।੪।
zameeno aasamaan raa surakhuroo karad |33|4|I do not give any credence to a king nor do I recognize a beggar." (58) (2) Goyaa says, "The fact is that, in reality, after seeking and denouncing, there is no one else except You everywhere;
ਦੋ ਆਲਮ ਗਸ਼ਤ ਰੰਗੀਣ ਅਜ਼ ਤੁਫ਼ੈਲਸ਼ ।
do aalam gashat rangeen az tufailash |Therefore I do not recognize any barriers between you and me." (58) (3) In the self-annhilating path of love, one gets so enamored that the head becomes the feet and the feet the head in oneness; This cliche is often repeated; However, we do not distinguish the difference between the roles of head and feet. (58) (4) Drunk with ecstacy, we too, like Goyaa, have been derelict since the beginning of time, We have been completely oblivious to the modus operandi of meditation or fakery. (58) (5) Whenever we open our eyes to look towards our Beloved Guru, Then the pearl-showering river-like eyes start streaming down with tears. (59) (1) Goyaa says, "Wherever I have looked, I see only the face of my Beloved,
ਚੂ ਸ਼ਾਹਮ ਜਾਮਾ ਰੰਗੀਨ ਦਰ ਗੁਲੂ ਕਰਦ ।੩੩।੫।
choo shaaham jaamaa rangeen dar guloo karad |33|5|When did I ever have looked at a stranger, someone other than the Akaalpurakh Himself?" (59) (2) O meditating saint! Please do not forbid me from looking at beautiful objects; Because, I do not dare look at anyone else other than my true and loving Friend. (59) (3) Goyaa says, "I have never taken any other food stimulent except the discourse about Your lovely face,
ਕਸੇ ਕੂ ਦੀਦ ਦੀਦਾਰਿ ਮੁਕੱਦਸ ।
kase koo deed deedaar mukadas |While treading the path of love and affection, this has been enough, and I have been persistently asserting this." (59) (4) Goyaa says, "I am inebriated with the intoxicating looks of my Beloved,
ਮੁਰਾਦਿ ਉਮਰ ਰਾ ਹਾਸਿਲ ਨਿਕੋ ਦਰਦ ।੩੩।੬।
muraad umar raa haasil niko darad |33|6|Then, why should I ever long for a sip of mysterious alcoholic drink?" (59) (5) Nothing permeates into my eyes except the king of my own choice; His tall and well-built God-given stature has become comely to my eyes. (60) (1) Goyaa says, "He, the Guru, revives dead bodies into life with his smile,
ਸ਼ਵਦ ਕੁਰਬਾਨ ਖ਼ਾਕਿ ਰਾਹਿ ਸੰਗਤ ।
shavad kurabaan khaak raeh sangat |When he showers elixir-like expressions from his blossoming close-lipped bud-like mouth." (60) (2) My eyes have become a source of an eternal fountain longing to have your glimpse; Come my Beloved! My pitiable suffering sad life is willing to sacrifice itself for you. (60) (3) If you, my Guru, would ever care to look deep into my heart, you will not find anything other than you there; Because, there is not even a mention of anyone except you in each and every limb of my body and every drop of my blood. (60) (4) Gayaa says, "I am a just a fistful of dust, but my inner self is bright and satiated with the glow of eternal light of his rays,
ਦਿਲਿ ਗੋਯਾ ਹਮੀਣ ਰਾ ਆਰਜ਼ੂ ਕਰਦ ।੩੩।੭।
dil goyaa hameen raa aarazoo karad |33|7|Therefore, my alert and sane mind always echoes that message." (60) (5) Goyaa says, "If you become faithful, then no one would betray you,
