Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Saawan, the rainy month, has come, dear friends, and the clouds are pouring down rain.
Nanak says: the happy brides sleep in peace, for they love their Beloved.
A heart that loves the One rests easy when the rain comes.
This salok is the bright twin of the one before it, also by Guru Angad. Jalhar barsanhaar: the clouds are full and pouring. Sohaaganee are the brides who live in their Beloved's love. In the soul-bride picture, each of us is the bride and the One is the Beloved. Those who love the One sleep in sukh, peace, when the monsoon breaks.
Think of a child asleep during a storm, safe because a parent is in the next room. The rain on the roof becomes a lullaby.
What lets you sleep easy at night?
