First Mehla:

All are brides of the Husband Lord; all decorate themselves for Him.

But when the time comes to settle their accounts, their red robes are corrupt.

His Love is not obtained through hypocrisy. Her false coverings bring only ruin. II1II

In this way, the Dear Husband Lord ravishes and enjoys His bride.

The happy soul-bride is pleasing to You, Lord; by Your Grace, You adorn her. II1IIPause

She is decorated with the Word of the Guru's Shabad; her mind and body belong to her Husband Lord.

With her palms pressed together, she stands, waiting on Him, and offers her True prayers to Him.

Dyed in the deep crimson of the Love of her Darling Lord, she dwells in the Fear of the True One. Imbued with His Love, she is dyed in the color of His Love. II2II

She is said to be the hand-maiden of her Beloved Lord; His sweetheart surrenders to His Name.

True Love is never broken; she is united in Union with the True One.

Attuned to the Word of the Shabad, her mind is pierced through. I am forever a sacrifice to Him. II3II

That bride, who is absorbed into the True Guru, shall never become a widow.

Her Husband Lord is Beautiful; His Body is forever fresh and new. The True One does not die, and shall not go

He continually enjoys His happy soul-bride; He casts His Gracious Glance of Truth upon her, and she abides in His Will. II4II

The bride braids her hair with Truth; her clothes are decorated with His Love.

Like the essence of sandalwood, He permeates her consciousness, and the Temple of the Tenth Gate is opened.

The lamp of the Shabad is lit, and the Name of the Lord is her necklace. II5II

She is the most beautiful among women; upon her forehead she wears the Jewel of the Lord's Love.

Her glory and her wisdom are magnificent; her love for the Infinite Lord is True.

Other than her Beloved Lord, she knows no man. She enshrines love for the True Guru. II6II

Asleep in the darkness of the night, how shall she pass her life-night without her Husband?

Her limbs shall burn, her body shall burn, and her mind and wealth shall burn as well

When the Husband does not enjoy His bride, then her youth passes away in vain. II7II

The Husband is on the Bed, but the bride is asleep, and so she does not come to know Him.

While I am asleep, my Husband Lord is awake. Where can I go for advice?

The True Guru has led me to meet Him, and now I dwell in the Fear of God. O Nanak, His Love is always with me. II8II2II
