794 : 2599
Why are you asleep? Wake up, you ignorant fool!

794 : 2600
You believe that your life in the world is true. ||1||Pause||

794 : 2601
The One who gave you life shall also provide you with nourishment.

794 : 2602
In each and every heart, He runs His shop.

794 : 2603
Meditate on the Lord, and renounce your egotism and self-conceit.

794 : 2604
Within your heart, contemplate the Naam, the Name of the Lord, sometime. ||2||

794 : 2605
Your life has passed away, but you have not arranged your path.

794 : 2606
Evening has set in, and soon there will be darkness on all sides.

794 : 2607
Says Ravi Daas, O ignorant mad-man,

794 : 2608
don't you realize, that this world is the house of death?! ||3||2||

794 : 2609
SOOHEE:

794 : 2610
You may have lofty mansions, halls and kitchens.

794 : 2611
But you cannot stay in them, even for an instant, after death. ||1||

794 : 2612
This body is like a house of straw.

794 : 2613
When it is burnt, it mixes with dust. ||1||Pause||

794 : 2614
Even relatives, family and friends begin to say, "Take his body out, immediately!"||2||

794 : 2615
And the wife of his house, who was so attached to his body and heart,

794 : 2616
runs away, crying out, "Ghost! Ghost!"||3||

794 : 2617
Says Ravi Daas, the whole world has been plundered,

794 : 2618
but I have escaped, chanting the Name of the One Lord. ||4||3||

794 : 2619
One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

794 : 2620
Raag Soohee, The Word Of Shaykh Fareed Jee:

794 : 2621
Burning and burning, writhing in pain, I wring my hands.

794 : 2622
I have gone insane, seeking my Husband Lord.

794 : 2623
O my Husband Lord, You are angry with me in Your Mind.

794 : 2624
The fault is with me, and not with my Husband Lord. ||1||

794 : 2625
O my Lord and Master, I do not know Your excellence and worth.

794 : 2626
Having wasted my youth, now I come to regret and repent. ||1||Pause||

794 : 2627
O black bird, what qualities have made you black?

794 : 2628
"I have been burnt by separation from my Beloved."

794 : 2629
Without her Husband Lord, how can the soul-bride ever find peace?

794 : 2630
When He becomes merciful, then God unites us with Himself. ||2||

794 : 2631
The lonely soul-bride suffers in the pit of the world.

794 : 2632
She has no companions, and no friends.

794 : 2633
In His Mercy, God has united me with the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy.

794 : 2634
And when I look again, then I find God as my Helper. ||3||

794 : 2635
The path upon which I must walk is very depressing.

794 : 2636
It is sharper than a two-edged sword, and very narrow.

794 : 2637
That is where my path lies.

794 : 2638
O Shaykh Fareed, think of that path early on. ||4||1||

794 : 2639
SOOHEE, LALIT:

794 : 2640
You were not able to make yourself a raft when you should have.

794 : 2641
When the ocean is churning and over-flowing, then it is very difficult to cross over it. ||1||

794 : 2642
Do not touch the safflower with your hands; its color will fade away, my dear. ||1||Pause||

794 : 2643
First, the bride herself is weak, and then, her Husband Lord's Order is hard to bear.

794 : 2644
Milk does not return to the breast; it will not be collected again. ||2||

794 : 2645
Says Fareed, O my companions, when our Husband Lord calls,

794 : 2646
the soul departs, sad at heart, and this body returns to dust. ||3||2||
