Nanak, the woman is waiting for Thee; hear Thou, O
Omnipresent Spirit.
The chatrik[1] crieth ‘Prio!’ and the kokil[2] also singeth
its lays.
The woman who is embraced by her Spouse enjoyeth
every happiness.
She whom God in His pleasure hath embraced is a happy
woman.
God established the nine mansions of the body; the tenth
which is superior to them all, is His home.
Everything is Thine; Thou art my Beloved; I delight
in Thee night and day.
Nanak, the chatrik crieth ‘Prio, prio!’ and sweet is
the kokil’s song.
O God, filled with delight, my Beloved, hear Thou me.
Thou art contained in my soul and body; I forget Thee
not for an instant.
Why should I forget Thee for an instant? I am a sacrifice
unto Thee; I live by singing Thy praises.
I have no one; whose am I? I cannot abide without
God.
I have sought the shelter of His feet, and dwell there;
and my body hath become pure.
Nanak, he on whom God looketh with favour obtaineth
peace in his home, and his mind is consoled with the Guru’s
teaching.
It raineth a torrent of nectar, whose drops are delightful,
When the friend, the kindly Guru meeteth one, and love
is established with God.
God entereth the temple of the body when it pleaseth
Him, and the woman riseth up and repeateth His praises.
