She is intoxicated with greed, pride and egotism, and engrossed in Maya.
इनी बाती सहु पाईऐ नाही भई कामणि इआणी ॥२॥

जाइ पुछहु सोहागणी वाहै किनी बाती सहु पाईऐ ॥
Go and ask the happy, pure soul-brides, how did they obtain their Husband Lord?
जो किछु करे सो भला करि मानीऐ हिकमति हुकमु चुकाईऐ ॥
Whatever the Lord does, accept that as good; do away with your own cleverness and self-will.
जा कै प्रेमि पदारथु पाईऐ तउ चरणी चितु लाईऐ ॥
By His Love, true wealth is obtained; link your consciousness to His lotus feet.
सहु कहै सो कीजै तनु मनो दीजै ऐसा परमलु लाईऐ ॥
As your Husband Lord directs, so you must act; surrender your body and mind to Him, and apply this perfume to yourself.
एव कहहि सोहागणी भैणे इनी बाती सहु पाईऐ ॥३॥
So speaks the happy soul-bride, O sister; in this way, the Husband Lord is obtained. ||3||
आपु गवाईऐ ता सहु पाईऐ अउरु कैसी चतुराई ॥
Give up your selfhood, and so obtain your Husband Lord; what other clever tricks are of any use?
सहु नदरि करि देखै सो दिनु लेखै कामणि नउ निधि पाई ॥
When the Husband Lord looks upon the soul-bride with His Gracious Glance, that day is historic - the bride obtains the nine treasures.
आपणे कंत पिआरी सा सोहागणि नानक सा सभराई ॥
She who is loved by her Husband Lord, is the true soul-bride; O Nanak, she is the queen of all.
ऐसै रंगि राती सहज की माती अहिनिसि भाइ समाणी ॥
Thus she is imbued with His Love, intoxicated with delight; day and night, she is absorbed in His Love.
