Loosing These Eyes

What are these eyes?
Where they go when I am to die?

I long for my Guru, these eyes desire to see Him,
Amrit has begun to fill this body cup to it's brim.

I will go crazy, insane, become widowed without my Lord,
I would take off my head with my own sword.

I'd pull out these eyes and place them at His feet,
I must know that I will have to depart from this seat.

O my Guru, give me them eyes which only see you and nothing else,
I do not long for others, nor for wealth.

I've seen that it's so temporary. All an illusion,
Eating up the world, leaving us in confusion.

May your name be on my lips,
From the Amrit bata, I now take sips.

My eyes have stopped seeing, I've gone blind,
Blind to Maya, thank God, your so kind.

Guru has pulled me out, holding on to my kes,
I just pray to be at His feet, forever with a place.

O my eyes, realise that this is all dust and dirt,
Don't leave Him, attached to Mata you will eventually be hurt.

O my Lord, I am so happy, I've seen the unseeable,
I didn't know that I was capable.

But it wasn't me, it was down to His grace,
At your feet, forever and ever please grant me a place.

The Shabad, the Word of the True Guru, has pierced my mind. The True Word of His Bani permeates my heart.
My God is Unseen; He cannot be seen. The Gurmukh speaks the Unspoken.
When the Giver of peace grants His Grace, the mortal being meditates on the Lord, the Life of the Universe.
