Salok Sheikh Farid, Salok 114 — the happy bride looks to no one else
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
O bride, you are still searching for your Husband, so there must be some flaw in you.
Those who are known as happy brides do not look to anyone else.
A heart that still searches here and there has not yet found its rest; the happy bride looks to no one else.
Dhoodhaydee-ay suhaag koo: you who are searching for your Husband. In Gurbani the soul is often a bride, and the One is the Husband she longs for. Ta-o tan kaa-ee kor: then there is some flaw in you, something not yet ready.
Naa-o suhaaganee: those called happy brides. Jhaak na hor: they do not look elsewhere. Think of a child who has found their mother in a crowd and stops looking around.
What does it feel like to stop searching because you have found what you needed?
