RAAG SOOHEE, FIRST MEHL, KUCHAJEE ~ THE UNGRACEFUL BRIDE: ONE UNIVERSAL CREATOR GOD. BY THE GRACE OF THE TRUE GURU: I am ungraceful and ill-mannered, full of endless faults. How can I go to enjoy my Husband Lord? Each of His soul-brides is better than the rest &#151; who even knows my name? Those brides who enjoy their Husband Lord are very blessed, resting in the shade of the mango tree. I do not have their virtue &#151; who can I blame for this? Which of Your Virtues, O Lord, should I speak of? Which of Your Names should I chant? I cannot even reach one of Your Virtues. I am forever a sacrifice to You. Gold, silver, pearls and rubies are pleasing. My Husband Lord has blessed me with these things, and I have focused my thoughts on them. Palaces of brick and mud are built and decorated with stones; I have been fooled by these decorations, and I do not sit near my Husband Lord. The cranes shriek overhead in the sky, and the herons have come to rest. The bride has gone to her father-in-law&#146;s house; in the world hereafter, what face will she show? She kept sleeping as the day dawned; she forgot all about her journey. She separated herself from her Husband Lord, and now she suffers in pain. Virtue is in You, O Lord; I am totally without virtue. This is Nanak&#146;s only prayer: You give all Your nights to the virtuous soul-brides. I know I am unworthy, but isn&#146;t there a night for me as well? || 1 || <br xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"/> Hukamnama from <a xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" href="https://www.sikhnet.com/hukam" target="_blank">SikhNet.com</a>
