Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The moment has arrived — the guests are here, and it is time to get ready.
Why wait in everyday clothes when the great day has come? The invitation is to prepare your heart now, not later — the Beloved has come to bring you home.
This is the Rahao, built on the wedding image: the bride should be dressed and ready, but the day has come and found her unprepared. Kabir turns this into loving urgency — not fear, but "get ready, the joyful day is here." The "Husband coming to take her home" is the reunion of the soul with the One; we keep it warm and welcoming, an invitation rather than a summons.
If something wonderful were coming today, how would you get your heart ready for it?
