You might wonder what a Guldasta is??

A Guldasta when translated to English refers to a Boquet, in this context, it's a bouquet of Raags. A Guldasta usually begins with the Raag in which the Shabad has been composed. Then, it transitions into different Raags within the same Shabad. Usually, more than three Raags are sung in a Guldatsa.

ਸੁਣਿ ਯਾਰ ਹਮਾਰੇ ਸਜਣ ਇਕ ਕਰਉ ਬੇਨੰਤੀਆ ॥ 
Listen, O my intimate friend - I have just one prayer to make.

ਤਿਸੁ ਮੋਹਨ ਲਾਲ ਪਿਆਰੇ ਹਉ ਫਿਰਉ ਖੋਜੰਤੀਆ ॥ 
I have been wandering around, searching for that enticing, sweet Beloved.

ਤਿਸੁ ਦਸਿ ਪਿਆਰੇ ਸਿਰੁ ਧਰੀ ਉਤਾਰੇ ਇਕ ਭੋਰੀ ਦਰਸਨੁ ਦੀਜੈ ॥ 
Whoever leads me to my Beloved - I would cut off my head and offer it to him, even if I were granted the Blessed Vision of His Darshan for just an instant.

ਨੈਨ ਹਮਾਰੇ ਪ੍ਰਿਅ ਰੰਗ ਰੰਗਾਰੇ ਇਕੁ ਤਿਲੁ ਭੀ ਨਾ ਧੀਰੀਜੈ ॥ 
My eyes are drenched with the Love of my Beloved; without Him, I do not have even a moment's peace.

ਪ੍ਰਭ ਸਿਉ ਮਨੁ ਲੀਨਾ ਜਿਉ ਜਲ ਮੀਨਾ ਚਾਤ੍ਰਿਕ ਜਿਵੈ ਤਿਸੰਤੀਆ ॥ 
My mind is attached to the Lord, like the fish to the water, and the rainbird, thirsty for the raindrops.

ਜਨ ਨਾਨਕ ਗੁਰੁ ਪੂਰਾ ਪਾਇਆ ਸਗਲੀ ਤਿਖਾ ਬੁਝੰਤੀਆ ॥੧॥ 
Servant Nanak has found the Perfect Guru; his thirst is totally quenched. ||1||

ਫਰੀਦਾ ਤਨੁ ਸੁਕਾ ਪਿੰਜਰੁ ਥੀਆ ਤਲੀਆਂ ਖੂੰਡਹਿ ਕਾਗ ॥
Fareedhaa Than Sukaa Pinjar Thheeaa Thaleeaaan Khoonddehi Kaag ||
Fareed, my withered body has become a skeleton; the crows are pecking at my palms.

ਅਜੈ ਸੁ ਰਬੁ ਨ ਬਾਹੁੜਿਓ ਦੇਖੁ ਬੰਦੇ ਕੇ ਭਾਗ ॥੯੦॥
Ajai S Rab N Baahurriou Dhaekh Bandhae Kae Bhaag ||90||
Even now, God has not come to help me; behold, this is the fate of all mortal beings. ||90||

ਕਾਗਾ ਕਰੰਗ ਢੰਢੋਲਿਆ ਸਗਲਾ ਖਾਇਆ ਮਾਸੁ ॥
Kaagaa Karang Dtandtoliaa Sagalaa Khaaeiaa Maas ||
The crows have searched my skeleton, and eaten all my flesh.

ਏ ਦੁਇ ਨੈਨਾ ਮਤਿ ਛੁਹਉ ਪਿਰ ਦੇਖਨ ਕੀ ਆਸ ॥੯੧॥
Eae Dhue Nainaa Math Shhuho Pir Dhaekhan Kee Aas ||91||
But please do not touch these eyes; I hope to see my Lord. ||91||
