ੴ

Raag Soohee, The Word Of Shaykh Fareed Jee:

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

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

I have gone insane, seeking my Husband Lord.

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

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

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

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

O black bird, what qualities have made you black?

"I have been burnt by separation from my Beloved."

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

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

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

She has no companions, and no friends.

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

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

The path upon which I must walk is very depressing.

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

That is where my path lies.

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