If you long for your Husband Lord, O young and innocent bride, then focus your consciousness on the Guru's feet.

You shall be a happy soul bride of your Dear Lord forever; He does not die or leave.

The Dear Lord does not die, and He does not leave; through the peaceful poise of the Guru, the soul bride becomes the lover of her Husband Lord.

Through truth and self-control, she is forever immaculate and pure; she is embellished with the Word of the Guru's Shabad.

My God is True, forever and ever; He Himself created Himself.

O Nanak, she who focuses her consciousness on the Guru's feet, enjoys her Husband Lord. ||1||

When the young, innocent bride finds her Husband Lord, she is automatically intoxicated with Him, night and day.

Through the Word of the Guru's Teachings, her mind becomes blissful, and her body is not tinged with filth at all.

Her body is not tinged with filth at all, and she is imbued with her Lord God; my God unites her in Union.

The Lord drives out attachment from within her, when it pleases Him. The soul bride becomes pleasing to the Lord's Mind.

Night and day, she continually sings the Glorious Praises of the True Lord; she speaks the Unspoken Speech.

Throughout the four ages, the One True Lord is permeating and pervading; without the Guru, no one finds Him.
