ਜਿਨਿ ਪਿਰੁ ਰਾਵਿਆ ਸਾ ਭਲੀ ਸੁਹਾਗਣਿ ॥
jin pir raavi-aa saa bhalee suhaagan.
She who enjoys her Husband Lord, is the good soul-bride.
ਸੇ ਮੈ ਗੁਣ ਨਾਹੀ ਹਉ ਕਿਆ ਕਰੀ ਦੁਹਾਗਣਿ ॥੩॥
say mai gun naahee ha-o ki-aa karee duhaagan. ||3||
I don't have these virtues; what can I, the discarded bride, do? ||3||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The ones who are close seem so blessed, and I don't feel like I have what they have.
'What can I even do?' — and yet just asking that, honestly, keeps the door open.
Feeling left out is a feeling, not a final fact — and honestly asking 'what can I do?' keeps the door open.
"She who enjoys her Husband is the good soul-bride. I don't have these virtues; what can I, the discarded bride, do?" The duhaagan (the one who feels cast aside) voices her helplessness. The qMonk voice, per the wellbeing rules, keeps the honesty but frames it toward hope — the very asking keeps the door open — rather than despair. Feeling cast aside is a feeling, not a final fact.
A Question to Sit With
When you feel left out, what small honest step could you take instead of giving up?
