ਚਿਤਿ ਚਿਤਵਉ ਅਰਦਾਸਿ ਕਹਉ ਪਰੁ ਕਹਿ ਭਿ ਨ ਸਕਉ ॥

ਚਿਤਿ ਚਿਤਵਉ ਅਰਦਾਸਿ ਕਹਉ ਪਰੁ ਕਹਿ ਭਿ ਨ ਸਕਉ ॥

chiti chitvau ardāsi kahau paru kahi bhi na sakau ॥

चिति चितवउ अरदासि कहउ परु कहि भि न सकउ ॥

I consciously pray within my consciousness, but I cannot express it in words.

ਸਰਬ ਚਿੰਤ ਤੁਝੁ ਪਾਸਿ ਸਾਧਸੰਗਤਿ ਹਉ ਤਕਉ ॥

sarab chint tujhu pāsi sādhsaṅgti hau takau ॥

सरब चिंत तुझु पासि साधसंगति हउ तकउ ॥

I place all my worries and anxieties before You; I look to the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy, for help.

ਤੇਰੈ ਹੁਕਮਿ ਪਵੈ ਨੀਸਾਣੁ ਤਉ ਕਰਉ ਸਾਹਿਬ ਕੀ ਸੇਵਾ ॥

tērai hukmi pavai nīsāṇu tau karau sāhib kī sēvā ॥

तेरै हुकमि पवै नीसाणु तउ करउ साहिब की सेवा ॥

By the Hukam of Your Command, I am blessed with Your Insignia; I serve my Lord and Master.

ਜਬ ਗੁਰੁ ਦੇਖੈ ਸੁਭ ਦਿਸਟਿ ਨਾਮੁ ਕਰਤਾ ਮੁਖਿ ਮੇਵਾ ॥

jab guru dēkhai subh disṭi nāmu karatā mukhi mēvā ॥

जब गुरु देखै सुभ दिसटि नामु करता मुखि मेवा ॥

When You, O Guru, gaze at me with Your Glance of Grace, the fruit of the Naam, the Name of the Creator, is placed within my mouth.

ਅਗਮ ਅਲਖ ਕਾਰਣ ਪੁਰਖ ਜੋ ਫੁਰਮਾਵਹਿ ਸੋ ਕਹਉ ॥

agam alakh kāraṇ purakh jō phurmāvhi sō kahau ॥

अगम अलख कारण पुरख जो फुरमावहि सो कहउ ॥

The Unfathomable and Unseen Primal Lord God, the Cause of causes - as He orders, so do I speak.

ਭਿਖੇ ਕੇ ॥

bhikhē kē ॥

भिखे के ॥

Of Bhikhaa:

ਗੁਰੁ ਗਿਆਨੁ ਅਰੁ ਧਿਆਨੁ ਤਤ ਸਿਉ ਤਤੁ ਮਿਲਾਵੈ ॥

guru giānu aru dhiānu tat siu tatu milāvai ॥

गुरु गिआनु अरु धिआनु तत सिउ ततु मिलावै ॥

In deep meditation, and the spiritual wisdom of the Guru, one's essence merges with the essence of reality.

ਸਚਿ ਸਚੁ ਜਾਣੀਐ ਇਕ ਚਿਤਹਿ ਲਿਵ ਲਾਵੈ ॥

sachi sachu jāṇīai ik chithi liv lāvai ॥

सचि सचु जाणीऐ इक चितहि लिव लावै ॥

In truth, the True Lord is recognized and realized, when one is lovingly attuned to Him, with one-pointed consciousness.

ਕਾਮ ਕ੍ਰੋਧ ਵਸਿ ਕਰੈ ਪਵਣੁ ਉਡੰਤ ਨ ਧਾਵੈ ॥

kām krōdh vasi karai pavṇu uḍant na dhāvai ॥

काम क्रोध वसि करै पवणु उडंत न धावै ॥

Lust and anger are brought under control, when the breath does not fly around, wandering restlessly.

ਨਿਰੰਕਾਰ ਕੈ ਵਸੈ ਦੇਸਿ ਹੁਕਮੁ ਬੁਝਿ ਬੀਚਾਰੁ ਪਾਵੈ ॥

nirṅkār kai vasai dēsi hukmu bujhi bīchāru pāvai ॥

निरंकार कै वसै देसि हुकमु बुझि बीचारु पावै ॥

Dwelling in the land of the Formless Lord, realizing the Hukam of His Command, His contemplative wisdom is attained.

ਕਲਿ ਮਾਹਿ ਰੂਪੁ ਕਰਤਾ ਪੁਰਖੁ ਸੋ ਜਾਣੈ ਜਿਨਿ ਕਿਛੁ ਕੀਅਉ ॥

kali māhi rūpu karatā purkhu sō jāṇai jini kichhu kīau ॥

कलि माहि रूपु करता पुरखु सो जाणै जिनि किछु कीअउ ॥

In this Dark Age of Kali Yuga, the Guru is the Form of the Creator, the Primal Lord God; he alone knows, who has tried it.

ਗੁਰੁ ਮਿਲ੍ਹਿਉ ਸੋਇ ਭਿਖਾ ਕਹੈ ਸਹਜ ਰੰਗਿ ਦਰਸਨੁ ਦੀਅਉ ॥੧॥੧੯॥

guru milhiu sōi bhikhā kahai sahaj raṅgi darsanu dīau ॥1॥19॥

गुरु मिल्हिउ सोइ भिखा कहै सहज रंगि दरसनु दीअउ ॥१॥१९॥

So speaks Bhikhaa: I have met the Guru. With love and intuitive affection, He has bestowed the Blessed Vision of His Darshan. ||1||19||
