In this world of my father's house, I, the soul-bride, have been very childish;

I did not realize the value of my Husband Lord. ||1||

ਸਹੁ ਮੇਰਾ ਏਕੁ ਦੂਜਾ ਨਹੀ ਕੋਈ ॥

My Husband is the One; there is no other like Him.

ਨਦਰਿ ਕਰੇ ਮੇਲਾਵਾ ਹੋਈ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥

If He bestows His Glance of Grace, then I shall meet Him. ||1||Pause||

By Guru's Grace, such wisdom comes to me,

so that the soul-bride becomes pleasing to the Mind of the Husband Lord. ||3||

Says Nanak, she who adorns herself with the Love and the Fear of God,

ਸਦ ਹੀ ਸੇਜੈ ਰਵੈ ਭਤਾਰੁ ॥੪॥੨੭॥

enjoys her Husband Lord forever on His Bed. ||4||27||
