Page - 219


ਬਾਰੀ ਬਹੁ ਨਾਇਕ ਕੀ ਨਾਇਕਾ ਪਿਆਰੀ ਕੇਰੀ ਘੇਰੀ ਆਨਿ ਪ੍ਰਬਲ ਹੁਇ ਨਿੰਦ੍ਰਾ ਨੈਨ ਛਾਇ ਕੈ ।
baaree bahu naaeik kee naaeikaa piaaree keree gheree aan prabal hue nindraa nain chhaae kai |

Known as favourite and loved one of the Master who has many women, when her turn to receive her Master's blessings came she was over-powered by the sleep of ignorance. The sleep-filled eyes made me unaware of everything.

ਪ੍ਰੇਮਨੀ ਪਤਿਬ੍ਰਤਾ ਚਇਲੀ ਪ੍ਰਿਆ ਆਗਮ ਕੀ ਨਿੰਦ੍ਰਾ ਕੋ ਨਿਰਾਦਰ ਕੈ ਸੋਈ ਨ ਭੈ ਭਾਇ ਕੈ ।
premanee patibrataa cheilee priaa aagam kee nindraa ko niraadar kai soee na bhai bhaae kai |

But those Sikh sentient beings who were filled with love in their hearts when they heard that their Master was coming, they forsake sleep and remained alert in their faith and love for the meeting.

ਸਖੀ ਹੁਤੀ ਸੋਤ ਥੀ ਭਈ ਗਈ ਸੁਖਦਾਇਕ ਪੈ ਜਹਾ ਕੇ ਤਹੀ ਲੈ ਰਾਖੇ ਸੰਗਮ ਸੁਲਾਇ ਕੈ ।
sakhee hutee sot thee bhee gee sukhadaaeik pai jahaa ke tahee lai raakhe sangam sulaae kai |

Despite being favourite of my Master, I remained sleeping in ignorance. I remained bereft of meeting my comfort-giving beloved. I remained wherever I was, separated and bereft of His love and blessings. This is what sleep of ignorance did to me.

ਸੁਪਨ ਚਰਿਤ੍ਰ ਮੈ ਨ ਮਿਤ੍ਰਹਿ ਮਿਲਨ ਦੀਨੀ ਜਮ ਰੂਪ ਜਾਮਨੀ ਨ ਨਿਬਰੈ ਬਿਹਾਇ ਕੈ ।੨੧੯।
supan charitr mai na mitreh milan deenee jam roop jaamanee na nibarai bihaae kai |219|

This dream like happening did not let me meet my beloved. Now the death-like night of separation neither ends nor terminates. (219)
