O Nanak, through the Glance of Grace of the True Lord, celestial peace is obtained; let's meet Him, O my sisters and companions. ||3||
My desire has been fulfilled - my Friend has come to my home.
At the Union of husband and wife, the songs of rejoicing were sung.
Singing the songs of joyful praise and love to Him, the soul-bride's mind is thrilled and delighted.
My friends are happy, and my enemies are unhappy; meditating on the True Lord, the true profit is obtained.
With her palms pressed together, the soul-bride prays, that she may remain immersed in the Love of her Lord, night and day.
O Nanak, the Husband Lord and the soul-bride revel together; my desires are fulfilled. ||4||1||
Section 07 - Raag Gauree - Part 093
Gauree, Chhant, First Mehl:
Hear me, O my Dear Husband God - I am all alone in the wilderness.
How can I find comfort without You, O my Carefree Husband God?
The soul-bride cannot live without her Husband; the night is so painful for her.
Sleep does not come. I am in love with my Beloved. Please, listen to my prayer!
Other than my Beloved, no one cares for me; I cry all alone in the wilderness.
O Nanak, the bride meets Him when He causes her to meet Him; without her Beloved, she suffers in pain. ||1||
She is separated from her Husband Lord - who can unite her with Him?
Tasting His Love, she meets Him, through the Beautiful Word of His Shabad.
Adorned with the Shabad, she obtains her Husband, and her body is illuminated with the lamp of spiritual wisdom.
Listen, O my friends and companions - she who is at peace dwells upon the True Lord and His True Praises.
Meeting the True Guru, she is ravished and enjoyed by her Husband Lord; she blossoms forth with the Ambrosial Word of His Bani.
O Nanak, the Husband Lord enjoys His bride when she is pleasing to His Mind. ||2||
Fascination with Maya made her homeless; the false are cheated by falsehood.
How can the noose around her neck be untied, without the Most Beloved Guru?
One who loves the Beloved Lord, and reflects upon the Shabad, belongs to Him.
How can giving donations to charities and countless cleansing baths wash off the filth within the heart?
Without the Naam, no one attains salvation. Stubborn self-discipline and living in the wilderness are of no use at all.
O Nanak, the home of Truth is attained through the Shabad. How can the Mansion of His Presence be known through duality? ||3||
True is Your Name, O Dear Lord; True is contemplation of Your Shabad.
True is the Mansion of Your Presence, O Dear Lord, and True is trade in Your Name.
Trade in Your Name is very sweet; the devotees earn this profit night and day.
Other than this, I can think of no other merchandise. So chant the Naam each and every moment.
