This shabad of Sri Guru Nanak Dev ji is deep love full hymns for lord. The intense longingness to meet lord resonates in it, a heart which is aching and paining prays to Lord so as to get some relief by darshan . Sri Gurdev uses analogy of a woman who is pinning for her husband and wishes to meet. But feels inadequate to appease her husband. A devotee is in vairagya’ crying to meet lord and seeking to prepare mind to be suitable for divine meeting.
