aapanaa pir na pachhaanahee kiaa muhu deseh jaae |

You do not recognize your own Husband Lord! When you go to Him, what face will you show Him?

The self-willed manmukhs do not recognize their Husband Lord; how will they spend their life-night?

The happy soul-brides are attuned to the Shabad; their egotism is eliminated from within.

In the darkness of intellectual ignorance, she cannot see her Husband, and her hunger does not depart.

Come and meet with me, my sister soul-brides, and unite me with my Husband.

She who meets the True Guru, by perfect good fortune, finds her Husband; she is absorbed in the True One. ||3||
