762 : 1388
Many come and go; they die, and die again, and are reincarnated.

762 : 1389
Without understanding, they are totally useless, and they wander in reincarnation. ||5||

762 : 1390
They alone join the Saadh Sangat, unto whom the Lord becomes Merciful.

762 : 1391
They chant and meditate on the Ambrosial Name of the Lord. ||6||

762 : 1392
Uncounted millions, so many they are endless, search for Him.

762 : 1393
But only that one, who understands his own self, sees God near at hand. ||7||

762 : 1394
Never forget me, O Great Giver - please bless me with Your Naam.

762 : 1395
To sing Your Glorious Praises day and night - O Nanak, this is my heart-felt desire. ||8||2||5||16||

Raag Soohee, First Mehl, Kuchajee ~ The Ungraceful Bride:

762 : 1397
One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

762 : 1398
I am ungraceful and ill-mannered, full of endless faults. How can I go to enjoy my Husband Lord?

762 : 1399
Each of His soul-brides is better than the rest - who even knows my name?

762 : 1400
Those brides who enjoy their Husband Lord are very blessed, resting in the shade of the mango tree.

762 : 1401
I do not have their virtue - who can I blame for this?

762 : 1402
Which of Your Virtues, O Lord, should I speak of? Which of Your Names should I chant?

762 : 1403
I cannot even reach one of Your Virtues. I am forever a sacrifice to You.

762 : 1404
Gold, silver, pearls and rubies are pleasing.

762 : 1405
My Husband Lord has blessed me with these things, and I have focused my thoughts on them.

762 : 1406
Palaces of brick and mud are built and decorated with stones;

Continued...

762 : 1407
I have been fooled by these decorations, and I do not sit near my Husband Lord.

762 : 1408
The cranes shriek overhead in the sky, and the herons have come to rest.

762 : 1409
The bride has gone to her father-in-law's house; in the world hereafter, what face will she show?

762 : 1410
She kept sleeping as the day dawned; she forgot all about her journey.

762 : 1411
She separated herself from her Husband Lord, and now she suffers in pain.

762 : 1412
Virtue is in You, O Lord; I am totally without virtue. This is Nanak's only prayer:

762 : 1413
You give all Your nights to the virtuous soul-brides. I know I am unworthy, but isn't there a night for me as well? ||1||

762 : 1414
Soohee, First Mehl, Suchajee ~ The Noble And Graceful Bride:

762 : 1415
When I have You, then I have everything. O my Lord and Master, You are my wealth and capital.

762 : 1416
Within You, I abide in peace; within You, I am congratulated.

762 : 1417
By the Pleasure of Your Will, You bestow thrones and greatness. And by the Pleasure of Your Will, You make us beggars and wanderers.

762 : 1418
By the Pleasure of Your Will, the ocean flows in the desert, and the lotus blossoms in the sky.

762 : 1419
By the Pleasure of Your Will, one crosses over the terrifying world-ocean; by the Pleasure of Your Will, he sinks down into it.

762 : 1420
By the Pleasure of His Will, that Lord becomes my Husband, and I am imbued with the Praises of the Lord, the treasure of virtue.

762 : 1421
By the Pleasure of Your Will, O my Husband Lord, I am afraid of You, and I come and go, and die.

762 : 1422
You, O my Husband Lord, are inaccessible and immeasurable; talking and speaking of You, I have fallen at Your Feet.

762 : 1423
What should I beg for? What should I say and hear? I am hungry and thirsty for the Blessed Vision of Your Darshan.

762 : 1424
Through the Word of the Guru's Teachings, I have found my Husband Lord. This is Nanak's true prayer. ||2||
