The humble being serves Him, and so all his works are perfectly successful.

O Lord, please preserve the honor of Your slaves. ||1||

I seek Your Sanctuary, O Perfect, Merciful Lord.

Without You, who would cherish and love me? ||1||Pause||

He is permeating and pervading the water, the land and the sky.

God dwells near at hand; He is not far away.

By trying to please other people, nothing is accomplished.

When someone is attached to the True Lord, his ego is taken away. ||2||

Section 19 - Raag Soohee - Part 010

He alone is attached, whom the Lord Himself attaches.

The jewel of spiritual wisdom is awakened deep within.

Evil-mindedness is eradicated, and the supreme status is attained.

By Guru's Grace, meditate on the Naam, the Name of the Lord. ||3||

Pressing my palms together, I offer my prayer;

if it pleases You, Lord, please bless me and fulfill me.

Grant Your Mercy, Lord, and bless me with devotion.

Servant Nanak meditates on God forever. ||4||2||

Soohee, Fifth Mehl:

Blessed is that soul-bride, who realizes God.

She obeys the Hukam of His Order, and abandons her self-conceit.

Imbued with her Beloved, she celebrates in delight. ||1||

Listen, O my companions - these are the signs on the Path to meet God.

Dedicate your mind and body to Him; stop living to please others. ||1||Pause||

One soul-bride counsels another,

to do only that which pleases God.

Such a soul-bride merges into the Being of God. ||2||

One who is in the grip of pride does not obtain the Mansion of the Lord's Presence.

She regrets and repents, when her life-night passes away.

The unfortunate self-willed manmukhs suffer in pain. ||3||

I pray to God, but I think that He is far away.

God is imperishable and eternal; He is pervading and permeating everywhere.

Servant Nanak sings of Him; I see Him Ever-present everywhere. ||4||3||

Soohee, Fifth Mehl:

The Giver has put this household of my being under my own control. I am now the mistress of the Lord's Home.

My Husband Lord has made the ten senses and organs of actions my slaves.

I have gathered together all the faculties and facilities of this house.

I am thirsty with desire and longing for my Husband Lord. ||1||

What Glorious Virtues of my Beloved Husband Lord should I describe?

He is All-knowing, totally beautiful and merciful; He is the Destroyer of ego. ||1||Pause||

I am adorned with Truth, and I have applied the mascara of the Fear of God to my eyes.

I have chewed the betel-leaf of the Ambrosial Naam, the Name of the Lord.

My bracelets, robes and ornaments beautifully adorn me.

The soul-bride becomes totally happy, when her Husband Lord comes to her home. ||2||
