Translated it means :

“My heart yearns for a sight of the Guru

And it wails like a chatrik

My thirst remains unquenched and I find no peace

without a glimpse of my Beloved Satguru

I am ever a sacrifice unto a blessed vision of my beloved Satguru

Blissful is Thy face and Wisdom-Divine flows from your Holy Lips

For Long I have not seen you, my Lord

Blessed is the land where you reside

My true Benefactor, Friend and Beloved Lord

I am always a sacrifice unto my God Guru, True Benefactor and Redeemer Lord

A moment’s separation from you means the torment of the whole Kaliyug for me.

When shall I behold you, my Beloved Lord?

Sleep has deserted me and I cannot Survive the night

without beholding the splendour of my Beloved Satguru.

How Blessed I am that I have attained union with my beloved Satguru

and have found the Lord Almighty (Immortal God) in my own house.

May I serve you for ever and be not separated from you for a moment.

I am your humble slave, O my beloved Lord and my revered Master.

May I remain a sacrifice unto Thee in perpetuity;

I am a humble slave of Yours for ever.

Guru Arjan Dev Ji when separated from Guru Ram Das Ji finds it most miserable to live even for a moment without His most beloved Father-Guru. He pathetically communicates the agonising pangs of His death-like separation, to His Beloved Satguru in these most famous out-pourings of love.

These are the most penetrating Divine outpourings of True Love and of True Devotional Faith.

Pangs of separation, pathetic condition of a true Lover without the Beloved and consequently a True Prayer arising from such a Love-Smitten Soul, dazzlingly radiate from these holy hymns. A true, sincere, unadulterated prayer arose from the depths of the heart of a bereaved Lover for re-union with the Beloved Satguru.

Love begets Love. Guru Arjan sends the first three hymns in the form of letters drenched in Love, unable to bear separation from his Beloved Satguru-Guru Ram Das Ji.

thanks and regards

It is deeply moving, isn't it. Guru Arjan Dev couples his love for the Satguru with his love for his own father. His love for Guru Ram Das is the metaphor for love for the One, and one love is the way he expresses his love for the One. And from this immeasurably beautiful poetry erupts, teaching us how to love.

When we are in harmony and in bliss, time vanishes or passes very fast. Time flies. But once the baby bottle is removed from its mouth, the baby cries and desires to continue suckling the blissful amrit.

Pangs of separation land us in a 'prison' where time indeed does not move. Days seem like months. Guru Nanak wrote :

ਸੰਜੋਗੁ ਵਿਜੋਗੁ ਦੁਇ ਕਾਰ ਚਲਾਵਹਿ ਲੇਖੇ ਆਵਹਿ ਭਾਗ ॥
संजोगु विजोगु दुइ कार चलावहि लेखे आवहि भाग ॥
Sanjog vijog ḏu*ė kār cẖalāveh lėkẖė āvahi bẖāg.
Union with Him, and separation from Him, come by His Will. We come to receive what is written in our destiny.
