They are also known as 'satee', who abide in modesty and contentment.

They serve their Lord, and rise in the early hours to contemplate Him. ||2||

Third Mehl:

The widows burn themselves in the fire, along with their husbands' corpses.

If they truly knew their husbands, then they suffer terrible bodily pain.

O Nanak, if they did not truly know their husbands, why should they burn themselves in the fire?

Whether their husbands are alive or dead, those wives remain far away from them. ||3||

Pauree:

You created pain along with pleasure; O Creator, such is the writ You have written.

There is no other gift as great as the Name; it has no form or sign.

The Naam, the Name of the Lord, is an inexhaustible treasure; it abides in the mind of the Gurmukh.

In His Mercy, He blesses us with the Naam, and then, the writ of pain and pleasure is not written.

Those humble servants who serve with love, meet the Lord, chanting the Chant of the Lord. ||6||

Shalok, Second Mehl:

They know that they will have to depart, so why do they make such ostentatious displays?

Those who do not know that they will have to depart, continue to arrange their affairs. ||1||

Second Mehl:

He accumulates wealth during the night of his life, but in the morning, he must depart.

O Nanak, it shall not go along with him, and so he regrets. ||2||

Second Mehl:

Paying a fine under pressure, does not bring either merit or goodness.

That alone is a good deed, O Nanak, which is done by one's own free will. ||3||

Second Mehl:

Stubborn-mindedness will not win the Lord to one's side, no matter how much it is tried.

The Lord is won over to your side, by offering Him your true love, O servant Nanak, and contemplating the Word of the Shabad. ||4||

Pauree:

The Creator created the world; He alone understands it.

He Himself created the Universe, and He Himself shall destroy it afterwards.

Section 19 - Raag Soohee - Part 061

All have grown weary of wandering throughout the four ages, but none know the Lord's worth.

The True Guru has shown me the One Lord, and my mind and body are at peace.

The Gurmukh praises the Lord forever; that alone happens, which the Creator Lord does. ||7||

Shalok, Second Mehl:

Those who have the Fear of God, have no other fears; those who do not have the Fear of God, are very afraid.

O Nanak, this mystery is revealed at the Court of the Lord. ||1||

Second Mehl:

That which flows, mingles with that which flows; that which blows, mingles with that which blows.

The living mingle with the living, and the dead mingle with the dead.

O Nanak, praise the One who created the creation. ||2||
