792 : 2506
I might as well just die crying, if You will not come into my mind. ||1||

792 : 2507
Second Mehl:

792 : 2508
When there is peace and pleasure, that is the time to remember your Husband Lord. In times of suffering and pain, remember Him then as well.

792 : 2509
Says Nanak, O wise bride, this is the way to meet your Husband Lord. ||2||

792 : 2510
Pauree:

792 : 2511
I am a worm - how can I praise You, O Lord; Your glorious greatness is so great!

792 : 2512
You are inaccessible, merciful and unapproachable; You Yourself unite us with Yourself.

792 : 2513
I have no other friend except You; in the end, You alone will be my Companion and Support.

792 : 2514
You save those who enter Your Sanctuary.

792 : 2515
O Nanak, He is care-free; He has no greed at all. ||20||1||

Raag Soohee, The Word Of Kabeer Jee, And Other Devotees.

792 : 2517
Of Kabeer

792 : 2518
One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

792 : 2519
Since your birth, what have you done?

792 : 2520
You have never even chanted the Name of the Lord. ||1||

792 : 2521
You have not meditated on the Lord; what thoughts are you attached to?

792 : 2522
What preparations are you making for your death, O unfortunate one? ||1||Pause||

792 : 2523
Through pain and pleasure, you have taken care of your family.

792 : 2524
But at the time of death, you shall have to endure the agony all alone. ||2||

792 : 2525
When you are seized by the neck, then you shall cry out.

792 : 2526
Says Kabeer, why didn't you remember the Lord before this? ||3||1||

792 : 2527
Soohee, Kabeer Jee:

792 : 2528
My innocent soul trembles and shakes.

792 : 2529
I do not know how my Husband Lord will deal with me. ||1||

792 : 2530
The night of my youth has passed away; will the day of old age also pass away?

Continued...

792 : 2531
My dark hairs, like bumble bees, have gone away, and grey hairs, like cranes, have settled upon my head. ||1||Pause||

792 : 2532
Water does not remain in the unbaked clay pot;

792 : 2533
when the soul-swan departs, the body withers away. ||2||

792 : 2534
I decorate myself like a young virgin;

792 : 2535
but how can I enjoy pleasures, without my Husband Lord? ||3||

792 : 2536
My arm is tired, driving away the crows.

792 : 2537
Says Kabeer, this is the way the story of my life ends. ||4||2||

792 : 2538
Soohee, Kabeer Jee:

792 : 2539
Your time of service is at its end, and you will have to give your account.

792 : 2540
The hard-hearted Messenger of Death has come to take you away.

792 : 2541
What have you earned, and what have you lost?

792 : 2542
Come immediately! You are summoned to His Court! ||1||

792 : 2543
Get going! Come just as you are! You have been summoned to His Court.

792 : 2544
The Order has come from the Court of the Lord. ||1||Pause||

792 : 2545
I pray to the Messenger of Death: please, I still have some outstanding debts to collect in the village.

792 : 2546
I will collect them tonight;

792 : 2547
I will also pay you something for your expenses,

792 : 2548
and I will recite my morning prayers on the way. ||2||

792 : 2549
Blessed, blessed is the most fortunate servant of the Lord, who is imbued with the Lord's Love, in the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy.

792 : 2550
Here and there, the humble servants of the Lord are always happy.

792 : 2551
They win the priceless treasure of this human life. ||3||

792 : 2552
When he is awake, he is sleeping, and so he loses this life.

792 : 2553
The property and wealth he has accumulated passes on to someone else.

792 : 2554
Says Kabeer, those people are deluded,

792 : 2555
who forget their Lord and Master, and roll in the dust. ||4||3||
