What is it like

to be madly in love with you?

O Mohan, O Gopal!

The world asks for various pleasures and luxuries-

I beg for this love for you;

Will you not fulfil my desire too?

Fill my heart with tunes of madness

of love for you-

may my whole being engage

in your kirtan

every single moment.

Make me mad, O Lord,

mad in your love.

Will I ever get this great gift?

Is my destiny blessed enough?

Please listen to my cries, O Lord-

I have surrendered myself unto You.

We cannot even measure space-

how can we even think of knowing You?

O how insignificant I am

in Your creation!

So many attempt to reach You;

What can a trivial person like me do?

But I have surrendered my everything to You,

O Guru!

Please make me serve You-

May I never forget your Holy Name.

Understand, O mind,

why should you study?

You are such a slave of the system!

Is that your purpose?

O Lord, my purpose of life is you,

my love of life is you,

then why study and work?

What good is study and work

if it leads me away from you?

I have no power, Lord,

all my efforts have failed.

Free me, Lord, if it pleases you,

to be of your service alone.

Who can reveal the mystery but yourself?

What mystery, what mastery!

Why do you smile?

What can please you?

O my Mystical Master!

Who can even get to know you!

O Guru Nanak

I hold your feet

tightly

from far away.

Come to me.

When will the blessed time come?

O Lord!

Why do you do this to me, O Lord?
I want you - nothing else.
The materialism is torturing me,
will you not save me, my Master?
The pain is unbearable,
please break my bonds
and attach me to your service.
The world gets what it wants-
so why shouldn't I.
I want you
I want to serve you
O Lord, I am yours.
Please listen to me today,
please forgive my faults
please listen to my prayer,
O Saviour.

In catching the mind
I fell.
In catching the soul
I'm lifted up.

How do I see
what I see
to see
what I want to see?

Someone lead me beyond dust!

The land that is forever green,
where the blissful tunes never stop,
where sweetness fills every smallest particle
where the pleasure of God's lotus feet lies.
