Shri Guru Granth Sahib
Raag Soohee

Those who enshrine love for another, die regretting and repenting. ||1||

I shall never leave my Husband Lord's side.

My Beloved Lover is always and forever beautiful. He is my hope and inspiration. ||1||Pause||

You are my Best Friend; You are my relative. I am so proud of You.

And when You dwell within me, I am at peace. I am without honor - You are my honor. ||2||

And when You are pleased with me, O treasure of mercy, then I do not see any other.

Please grant me this blessing, that that I may forever dwell upon You and cherish You within my heart. ||3||

Let my feet walk on Your Path, and let my eyes behold the Blessed Vision of Your Darshan.

With my ears, I will listen to Your Sermon, if the Guru becomes merciful to me. ||4||

Hundreds of thousands and millions do not equal even one hair of Yours, O my Beloved.

You are the King of kings; I cannot even describe Your Glorious Praises. ||5||

Your brides are countless; they are all greater than I am.

Please bless me with Your Glance of Grace, even for an instant; please bless me with Your Darshan, that I may revel in Your Love. ||6||

Seeing Him, my mind is comforted and consoled, and my sins and mistakes are far removed.

How could I ever forget Him, O my mother? He is permeating and pervading everywhere. ||7||

In humility, I bowed down in surrender to Him, and He naturally met me.

I have received what was pre-ordained for me, O Nanak, with the help and assistance of the Saints. ||8||1||4||

Soohee, Fifth Mehl:

The Simritees, the Vedas, the Puraanas and the other holy scriptures proclaim

that without the Naam, everything is false and worthless. ||1||

The infinite treasure of the Naam abides within the minds of the devotees.

Birth and death, attachment and suffering, are erased in the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy. ||1||Pause||

Those who indulge in attachment, conflict and egotism shall surely weep and cry.

Those who are separated from the Naam shall never find any peace. ||2||

Crying out, "Mine! Mine!", he is bound in bondage.

Entangled in Maya, he is reincarnated in heaven and hell. ||3||

Searching, searching, searching, I have come to understand the essence of reality.

Without the Naam, there is no peace at all, and the mortal will surely fail. ||4||

Section 19 - Raag Soohee - Part 035

Many come and go; they die, and die again, and are reincarnated.

Without understanding, they are totally useless, and they wander in reincarnation. ||5||

They alone join the Saadh Sangat, unto whom the Lord becomes Merciful.

They chant and meditate on the Ambrosial Name of the Lord. ||6||

Uncounted millions, so many they are endless, search for Him.

But only that one, who understands his own self, sees God near at hand. ||7||
