But when the time comes to settle their accounts, their red robes are corrupt.

54 : 1588
His Love is not obtained through hypocrisy. Her false coverings bring only ruin. ||1||

54 : 1589
In this way, the Dear Husband Lord ravishes and enjoys His bride.

54 : 1590
The happy soul-bride is pleasing to You, Lord; by Your Grace, You adorn her. ||1||Pause||

54 : 1591
She is decorated with the Word of the Guru's Shabad; her mind and body belong to her Husband Lord.

54 : 1592
With her palms pressed together, she stands, waiting on Him, and offers her True prayers to Him.

54 : 1593
Dyed in the deep crimson of the Love of her Darling Lord, she dwells in the Fear of the True One. Imbued with His Love, she is dyed in the color of His Love. ||2||

54 : 1594
She is said to be the hand-maiden of her Beloved Lord; His sweetheart surrenders to His Name.

54 : 1595
True Love is never broken; she is united in Union with the True One.

54 : 1596
Attuned to the Word of the Shabad, her mind is pierced through. I am forever a sacrifice to Him. ||3||

54 : 1597
That bride, who is absorbed into the True Guru, shall never become a widow.

54 : 1598
Her Husband Lord is Beautiful; His Body is forever fresh and new. The True One does not die, and shall not go.

54 : 1599
He continually enjoys His happy soul-bride; He casts His Gracious Glance of Truth upon her, and she abides in His Will. ||4||

54 : 1600
The bride braids her hair with Truth; her clothes are decorated with His Love.

54 : 1601
Like the essence of sandalwood, He permeates her consciousness, and the Temple of the Tenth Gate is opened.

54 : 1602
The lamp of the Shabad is lit, and the Name of the Lord is her necklace. ||5||

54 : 1603
She is the most beautiful among women; upon her forehead she wears the Jewel of the Lord's Love.

54 : 1604
Her glory and her wisdom are magnificent; her love for the Infinite Lord is True.

54 : 1605
Other than her Beloved Lord, she knows no man. She enshrines love for the True Guru. ||6||

54 : 1606
Asleep in the darkness of the night, how shall she pass her life-night without her Husband?

Continued...

54 : 1607
Her limbs shall burn, her body shall burn, and her mind and wealth shall burn as well.

54 : 1608
When the Husband does not enjoy His bride, then her youth passes away in vain. ||7||

54 : 1609
The Husband is on the Bed, but the bride is asleep, and so she does not come to know Him.

54 : 1610
While I am asleep, my Husband Lord is awake. Where can I go for advice?

54 : 1611
The True Guru has led me to meet Him, and now I dwell in the Fear of God. O Nanak, His Love is always with me. ||8||2||

54 : 1612
Siree Raag, First Mehl:

54 : 1613
O Lord, You are Your Own Glorious Praise. You Yourself speak it; You Yourself hear it and contemplate it.

54 : 1614
You Yourself are the Jewel, and You are the Appraiser. You Yourself are of Infinite Value.

54 : 1615
O True Lord, You are Honor and Glory; You Yourself are the Giver. ||1||

54 : 1616
O Dear Lord, You are the Creator and the Cause.

54 : 1617
If it is Your Will, please save and protect me; please bless me with the lifestyle of the Lord's Name. ||1||Pause||

54 : 1618
You Yourself are the flawless diamond; You Yourself are the deep crimson color.

54 : 1619
You Yourself are the perfect pearl; You Yourself are the devotee and the priest.

54 : 1620
Through the Word of the Guru's Shabad, You are praised. In each and every heart, the Unseen is seen. ||2||

54 : 1621
You Yourself are the ocean and the boat. You Yourself are this shore, and the one beyond.

54 : 1622
O All-knowing Lord, You are the True Way. The Shabad is the Navigator to ferry us across.

54 : 1623
One who does not fear God shall live in fear; without the Guru, there is only pitch darkness. ||3||

54 : 1624
The Creator alone is seen to be Eternal; all others come and go.

54 : 1625
Only You, Lord, are Immaculate and Pure. All others are bound up in worldly pursuits.

54 : 1626
Those who are protected by the Guru are saved. They are lovingly attuned to the True Lord. ||4||
