371 : 1096
In worship, marriage and in the next world, such a soul-bride looks beautiful. ||1||Pause||

371 : 1097
As long as she lived with her father,

371 : 1098
her Husband wandered around in sadness.

371 : 1099
I served and surrendered to the Lord, the True Being;

371 : 1100
the Guru brought my bride to my home, and I obtained total happiness. ||2||

371 : 1101
She is blessed with all sublime attributes, and her generations are unblemished.

371 : 1102
Her Husband, her Lord and Master, fulfills her heart's desires.

371 : 1103
Hope and desire (my younger brother-in-law and sister-in-law) are now totally content. ||3||

371 : 1104
She is the most noble of all the family.

371 : 1105
She counsels and advises her hope and desire.

371 : 1106
How blessed is that household, in which she has appeared.

371 : 1107
O servant Nanak, she passes her time in perfect peace and comfort. ||4||3||

371 : 1108
Aasaa, Fifth Mehl:

371 : 1109
Whatever I resolve, she does not allow it to come to pass.

371 : 1110
She stands blocking the way of goodness and self-discipline.

371 : 1111
She wears many disguises, and assumes many forms,

371 : 1112
and she does not allow me to dwell in my own home. She forces me to wander around in different directions. ||1||

371 : 1113
She has become the mistress of my home, and she does not allow me to live in it.

371 : 1114
If I try, she fights with me. ||1||Pause||

371 : 1115
In the beginning, she was sent as a helper,

371 : 1116
but she has overwhelmed the nine continents, all places and interspaces.

371 : 1117
She has not spared even the river banks, the sacred shrines of pilgrimage, the Yogis and Sannyaasees,

371 : 1118
or those who tirelessly read the Simritees and study the Vedas. ||2||

371 : 1119
Wherever I sit, she sits there with me.

371 : 1120
She has imposed her power upon the whole world.

371 : 1121
Seeking meager protection, I am not protected from her.

Continued...

371 : 1122
Tell me, O my friend: unto whom should I turn for protection? ||3||

371 : 1123
I heard of His Teachings, and so I have come to the True Guru.

371 : 1124
The Guru has implanted the Mantra of the Lord's Name, Har, Har, within me.

371 : 1125
And now, I dwell in the home of my own inner self; I sing the Glorious Praises of the Infinite Lord.

371 : 1126
I have met God, O Nanak, and I have become care-free. ||4||

371 : 1127
My home is now my own, and she is now my mistress.

371 : 1128
She is now my servant, and the Guru has made me intimate with the Lord. ||1||Second Pause||4||4||

371 : 1129
Aasaa, Fifth Mehl:

371 : 1130
First, they advised me to send a letter.

371 : 1131
Second, they advised me to send two men.

371 : 1132
Third, they advised me to make the effort and do something.

371 : 1133
But I have renounced everything, and I meditate only on You, God. ||1||

371 : 1134
Now, I am totally blissful, carefree and at ease.

371 : 1135
The enemies and evil-doers have perished, and I have obtained peace. ||1||Pause||

371 : 1136
The True Guru has imparted the Teachings to me.

371 : 1137
My soul, body and everything belong to the Lord.

371 : 1138
Whatever I do, is by Your Almighty Power.

371 : 1139
You are my only Support, You are my only Court. ||2||

371 : 1140
If I were to renounce You, God, unto whom could I turn?

371 : 1141
There is no other, comparable to You.

371 : 1142
Who else is Your servant to serve?

371 : 1143
The faithless cynics are deluded; they wander around in the wilderness. ||3||

371 : 1144
Your Glorious Greatness cannot be described.

371 : 1145
Wherever I am, you save me, hugging me close in Your embrace.

371 : 1146
Nanak, Your slave, has entered Your Sanctuary.

371 : 1147
God has preserved his honor, and congratulations are pouring in. ||4||5||
