The forest is blossoming in front of my door; if only my Beloved would return to my home!

1108 : 29
The beautiful song-bird sings, perched on the mango tree; but how can I endure the pain in the depths of my being?

Baisakhi is so pleasant; the branches blossom with new leaves.

The soul-bride yearns to see the Lord at her door. Come, O Lord, and take pity on me!

1108 : 34
Please come home, O my Beloved; carry me across the treacherous world-ocean. Without You, I am not worth even a shell.

1108 : 35
Who can estimate my worth, if I am pleasing to You? I see You, and inspire others to see You, O my Love.

1108 : 36
I know that You are not far away; I believe that You are deep within me, and I realize Your Presence.

1108 : 37

The month of Jayt'h is so sublime. How could I forget my Beloved?

1108 : 39
The earth burns like a furnace, and the soul-bride offers her prayer.

1108 : 40
The bride offers her prayer, and sings His Glorious Praises; singing His Praises, she becomes pleasing to God.

The fire dries up the moisture, and she dies in agony. But even then, the sun does not grow tired.

1108 : 47
His chariot moves on, and the soul-bride seeks shade; the crickets are chirping in the forest.

1108 : 48
She ties up her bundle of faults and demerits, and suffers in the world hereafter. But dwelling on the True Lord, she finds peace.

1108 : 49
O Nanak, I have given this mind to Him; death and life rest with God. ||8||

1108 : 50
In Saawan, be happy, O my mind. The rainy season has come, and the clouds have burst into showers.

1108 : 51
My mind and body are pleased by my Lord, but my Beloved has gone away.

1108 : 52
My Beloved has not come home, and I am dying of the sorrow of separation. The lightning flashes, and I am scared.

1108 : 53
My bed is lonely, and I am suffering in agony. I am dying in pain, O my mother!

"Pri-o! Pri-o! Beloved! Beloved!" cries the rainbird, while the snakes slither around, biting.

1108 : 60
The mosquitoes bite and sting, and the ponds are filled to overflowing; without the Lord, how can she find peace?

1108 : 61
O Nanak, I will go and ask my Guru; wherever God is, there I will go. ||10||

1108 : 62
In Assu, come, my Beloved; the soul-bride is grieving to death.

1108 : 63
She can only meet Him, when God leads her to meet Him; she is ruined by the love of duality.

1108 : 64
If she is plundered by falsehood, then her Beloved forsakes her. Then, the white flowers of old age blossom in my hair.
