Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
As long as she stayed in her father's house, her Husband wandered sad and alone.
I served and surrendered to the True One; the Guru brought my bride home, and I found complete happiness.
This one has a tender surprise: the longing goes both ways.
The bride is still living in her father's house. That means this life, before she wakes up to the One. And all that time, her Husband wanders around sad.
So the Beloved longs for the soul too. Think of a parent waiting at the door for a child who is late. The child may not know it, but someone is waiting.
Then come service and surrender. The Guru brings the bride home. The long ache on both sides turns into joy.
How does it change things to imagine you are not only seeking, but being sought?
