She who is enjoyed by her Creator Lord stands out, and does not blend in with the crowd.

O Nanak, the Gurmukh is the happy soul-bride forever; she has the Imperishable Lord God as her Husband. ||1||

First Mehl:

The red color is like a dream in the night; it is like a necklace without a string.

The Gurmukhs take on the permanent color, contemplating the Lord God.

O Nanak, with the supreme sublime essence of the Lord's Love, all sins and evil deeds are turned to ashes. ||2||

Pauree:

He Himself created this world, and staged this wondrous play.

Into the body of the five elements, He infused attachment, falsehood and self-conceit.

The ignorant, self-willed manmukh comes and goes, wandering in reincarnation.

He Himself teaches some to become Gurmukh, through the spiritual wisdom of the Lord.

He blesses them with the treasure of devotional worship, and the wealth of the Lord's Name. ||4||

Shalok, Third Mehl:

O red-robed woman, discard your red dress, and then, you shall come to love your Husband Lord.

Section 19 - Raag Soohee - Part 060

By wearing her red dress, no one has found her Husband Lord; the self-willed manmukh is burnt to death.

Meeting the True Guru, she discards her red dress, and eradicates egotism from within.

Her mind and body are imbued with the deep red color of His Love, and her tongue is imbued, singing His Praises and excellences.

She becomes His soul-bride forever, with the Word of the Shabad in her mind; she makes the Fear of God and the Love of God her ornaments and decorations.

O Nanak, by His Merciful Grace, she obtains the Mansion of the Lord's Presence, and keeps Him enshrined in her heart. ||1||

Third Mehl:

O bride, forsake your red dress, and decorate yourself with the crimson color of His Love.

Your comings and goings shall be forgotten, contemplating the Word of the Guru's Shabad.

The soul-bride is adorned and beautiful; the Celestial Lord, her Husband, abides in her home.

O Nanak, the bride ravishes and enjoys Him; and He, the Ravisher, ravishes and enjoys her. ||2||

Pauree:

The foolish, self-willed manmukh is engrossed in false attachment to family.

Practicing egotism and self-conceit, he dies and departs, taking nothing along with him.

He does not understand that the Messenger of Death is hovering over his head; he is deluded by duality.

This opportunity will not come into his hands again; the Messenger of Death will seize him.

He acts according to his pre-ordained destiny. ||5||

Shalok, Third Mehl:

Do not call them 'satee', who burn themselves along with their husbands' corpses.

O Nanak, they alone are known as 'satee', who die from the shock of separation. ||1||

Third Mehl:
