436 : 4057
The soul-bride meets her Husband Lord, when the Lord Master Himself showers His favor upon her.

436 : 4058
Her bed is decorated in the company of her Beloved, and her seven pools are filled with ambrosial nectar.

436 : 4059
Be kind and compassionate to me, O Merciful True Lord, that I may obtain the Word of the Shabad, and sing Your Glorious Praises.

436 : 4060
O Nanak, gazing upon her Husband Lord, the soul-bride is delighted, and her mind is filled with joy. ||1||

436 : 4061
O bride of natural beauty, offer your loving prayers to the Lord.

436 : 4062
The Lord is pleasing to my mind and body; I am intoxicated in my Lord God's Company.

436 : 4063
Imbued with the Love of God, I pray to the Lord, and through the Lord's Name, I abide in peace.

436 : 4064
If you recognize His Glorious Virtues, then you shall come to know God; thus virtue shall dwell in you, and sin shall run away.

436 : 4065
Without You, I cannot survive, even for an instant; by merely talking and listening about You, I am not satisfied.

436 : 4066
Nanak proclaims, "O Beloved, O Beloved!" His tongue and mind are drenched with the Lord's sublime essence. ||2||

436 : 4067
O my companions and friends, my Husband Lord is the merchant.

436 : 4068
I have purchased the Lord's Name; its sweetness and value are unlimited.

436 : 4069
His value is invaluable; the Beloved dwells in His true home. If it is pleasing to God, then He blesses His bride.

436 : 4070
Some enjoy sweet pleasures with the Lord, while I stand crying at His door.

436 : 4071
The Creator, the Cause of causes, the All-powerful Lord Himself arranges our affairs.

436 : 4072
O Nanak, blessed is the soul-bride, upon whom He casts His Glance of Grace; she enshrines the Word of the Shabad in her heart. ||3||

436 : 4073
In my home, the true songs of rejoicing resound; the Lord God, my Friend, has come to me.

436 : 4074
He enjoys me, and imbued with His Love, I have captivated His heart, and given mine to Him.

436 : 4075
I gave my mind, and obtained the Lord as my Husband; as it pleases His Will, He enjoys me.

436 : 4076
I have placed my body and mind before my Husband Lord, and through the Shabad, I have been blessed. Within the home of my own self, I have obtained the ambrosial fruit.

436 : 4077
He is not obtained by intellectual recitation or great cleverness; only by love does the mind obtain Him.

436 : 4078
O Nanak, the Lord Master is my Best Friend; I am not an ordinary person. ||4||1||

436 : 4079
Aasaa, First Mehl:

436 : 4080
The unstruck melody of the sound current resounds with the vibrations of the celestial instruments.

436 : 4081
My mind, my mind is imbued with the Love of my Darling Beloved.

436 : 4082
Night and day, my detached mind remains absorbed in the Lord, and I obtain my home in the profound trance of the celestial void.

436 : 4083
The True Guru has revealed to me the Primal Lord, the Infinite, my Beloved, the Unseen.

436 : 4084
The Lord's posture and His seat are permanent; my mind is absorbed in reflective contemplation upon Him.

436 : 4085
O Nanak, the detached ones are imbued with His Name, the unstruck melody, and the celestial vibrations. ||1||

436 : 4086
Tell me, how can I reach that unreachable, that unreachable city?

436 : 4087
By practicing truthfulness and self-restraint, by contemplating His Glorious Virtues, and living the Word of the Guru's Shabad.

436 : 4088
Practicing the True Word of the Shabad, one comes to the home of his own inner being, and obtains the treasure of virtue.

436 : 4089
He has no stems, roots, leaves or branches, but He is the Supreme Lord over the heads of all.

436 : 4090
Practicing intensive meditation, chanting and self-discipline, people have grown weary; stubbornly practicing these rituals, they still have not found Him.

436 : 4091
O Nanak, through spiritual wisdom, the Lord, the Life of the world, is met; the True Guru imparts this understanding. ||2||

436 : 4092
The Guru is the ocean, the mountain of jewels, overflowing with jewels.
