The red gown looks beautiful on thee
Your Lord is pleased, His heart is enticed
What makes you so aglow?
Whose love has made you bloom? (pause)
You are so beautiful, you are the happy bride
In thy home is Thee beloved and
In thy home is good fortune
You are pure and chaste,
You are the most distinguished
You are pleasing to Your Beloved,
You have sublime understanding
I am pleasing to my Beloved and so I am aglow
Sayeth Nanak, His Grace has blessed me
Listen, O Friend my effort is just this
Only He Himself adorns and beautifies
(pause second)

Sada Sohagan
My simran increases
Day by day
The ras of Naam
Flows through my veins.
My days and nights
Are filled with Naam
I am in bliss
I am at peace.
There are no words
To express gratitude
Serene silence
Jewels this bond.
Friends want to know
The secret to this bliss
They feel the serenity
Emanating from me.
How can I tell them
That it is not I
But You, my Guru
That holds the key.
You held my hand
And showed me the way
And when I faltered
You still stayed.
Your Hukam was crystal clear:
Keep Naam in your heart
Hold steadfast to Dharam
Go about your daily life.
As Naam immersed
My heart became pure
Every thought, word and deed
Aligned effortlessly to Dharam.
I kept walking
In this blissful way
With no expectations
I felt blessed.
Somewhere along the way
My ego fell
The I within me
Mysteriously disappeared.
Naam filled every pore
Naam became my core.
Deep within my soul
I felt the Ik Onkar.
Ik Onkar
The Divine energy
That permeates everywhere
That resides in all.
Gur Shabad
Rests in my being
Divine energy
Warms my forehead.
I hear whispers in the air
I hear oceans sing
I hear the pain of Mother Earth
I hear the Unspoken Word.
Sada Suhagan
Is how I feel
Sat, Santhok, Dharam, Dya
Is my shingar.
My days and nights
Are spent in this bliss
This is the secret
To eternal bliss.
