Shri Guru Granth Sahib
Raag Soohee

By the charms of virtue, I have enticed and fascinated my Husband Lord.

He is under my power - the Guru has dispelled my doubts.

My mansion is lofty and elevated.

Renouncing all other brides, my Beloved has become my lover. ||3||

The sun has risen, and its light shines brightly.

I have prepared my bed with infinite care and faith.

My Darling Beloved is new and fresh; He has come to my bed to enjoy me.

O Servant Nanak, my Husband Lord has come; the soul-bride has found peace. ||4||4||

Soohee, Fifth Mehl:

An intense yearning to meet God has welled up in my heart.

I have gone out searching to find my Beloved Husband Lord.

Hearing news of my Beloved, I have laid out my bed in my home.

Wandering, wandering all around, I came, but I did not even see Him. ||1||

How can this poor heart be comforted?

Come and meet me, O Friend; I am a sacrifice to You. ||1||Pause||

One bed is spread out for the bride and her Husband Lord.

The bride is asleep, while her Husband Lord is always awake.

The bride is intoxicated, as if she has drunk wine.

The soul-bride only awakens when her Husband Lord calls to her. ||2||

She has lost hope - so many days have passed.

I have travelled through all the lands and the countries.

Section 19 - Raag Soohee - Part 011

I cannot survive, even for an instant, without the feet of my Beloved.

When God becomes Merciful, I become fortunate, and then I meet Him. ||3||

Becoming Merciful, He has united me with the Sat Sangat, the True Congregation.

The fire has been quenched, and I have found my Husband Lord within my own home.

I am now adorned with all sorts of decorations.

Says Nanak, the Guru has dispelled my doubt. ||4||

Wherever I look, I see my Husband Lord there, O Siblings of Destiny.

When the door is opened, then the mind is restrained. ||1||Second Pause||5||

Soohee, Fifth Mehl:

What virtues and excellences of Yours should I cherish and contemplate? I am worthless, while You are the Great Giver.

I am Your slave - what clever tricks could I ever try? This soul and body are totally Yours||1||

O my Darling, Blissful Beloved, who fascinates my mind - I am a sacrifice to the Blessed Vision of Your Darshan. ||1||Pause||

O God, You are the Great Giver, and I am just a poor beggar; You are forever and ever benevolent.

I cannot accomplish anything by myself, O my Unapproachable and Infinite Lord and Master. ||2||

What service can I perform? What should I say to please You? How can I gain the Blessed Vision of Your Darshan?

Your extent cannot be found - Your limits cannot be found. My mind longs for Your Feet. ||3||

I beg with persistence to receive this gift, that the dust of the Saints might touch my face.
