Where is that door, where You live, O Lord? What is that door called? Among all doors, who can find that door?

For the sake of that door, I wander around sadly, detached from the world; if only someone would come and tell me about that door. ||1||

In the midst of hope, remain untouched by hope; then, O Nanak, you shall meet the One Lord. ||4||
