ਦੇਖਬੇ ਕਉ ਦ੍ਰਿਸਟਿ ਨ ਦਰਸ ਦਿਖਾਇਬੇ ਕਉ ਕੈਸੇ ਪ੍ਰਿਅ ਦਰਸਨੁ ਦੇਖੀਐ ਦਿਖਾਈਐ ।
dekhabe kau drisatt na daras dikhaaeibe kau kaise pria darasan dekheeai dikhaaeeai |I neither have enlightened eyes to have a glimpse of my unique, radiant and dear lover nor have I the power to show His glimpse to anyone. Then how can one see or even show a glimpse of the lover?
ਕਹਿਬੇ ਕਉ ਸੁਰਤਿ ਹੈ ਨ ਸ੍ਰਵਨ ਸੁਨਬੇ ਕਉ ਕੈਸੇ ਗੁਨਨਿਧਿ ਗੁਨ ਸੁਨੀਐ ਸੁਨਾਈਐ ।
kahibe kau surat hai na sravan sunabe kau kaise gunanidh gun suneeai sunaaeeai |I do not have the wisdom to describe the virtues of my beloved who is treasure-house of goodness. Nor do I have ears to listen to his adulations. Then how should we listen and recite the panegyrics of the fountain of merits and excellence?
ਮਨ ਮੈ ਨ ਗੁਰਮਤਿ ਗੁਰਮਤਿ ਮੈ ਨ ਮਨ ਨਿਹਚਲ ਹੁਇ ਨ ਉਨਮਨ ਲਿਵ ਲਾਈਐ ।
man mai na guramat guramat mai na man nihachal hue na unaman liv laaeeai |The mind neither inhabits the teachings of the True Guru nor does it engross itself in the sermons of Guru. The mind does not achieve stability in the words of Guru. Then how can one get engrossed in higher spiritual state?
ਅੰਗ ਅੰਗ ਭੰਗ ਰੰਗ ਰੂਪ ਕੁਲ ਹੀਨ ਦੀਨ ਕੈਸੇ ਬਹੁਨਾਇਕ ਕੀ ਨਾਇਕਾ ਕਹਾਈਐ ।੨੦੬।
ang ang bhang rang roop kul heen deen kaise bahunaaeik kee naaeikaa kahaaeeai |206|My whole body is aching. I, the meek and devoid of respect, has neither beauty nor high caste. Then how can I become and be known as the most favourite love of my Master Lord? (206)
