This composition by Guru Arjan Sahib is in Rag Asa, a musical mode used to evoke a mood of hope, expectation, inspiration, and courage. Guru Arjan Sahib asks, “Where does one go to experience the ultimate comfort?”

That Husband-Beloved’s Love. 1. Reflect.
Gold, jewels, elephant-size pearls, rubies—no, nope, none.  1.

No empire, opulence, power, or indulgence;
Craved not even a tiny bit.  2.

In True Congregation’s humble sanctuary and devotion
The comfort of comfort is obtained.

Nanak: Burning vanishes upon
Experiencing Husband-Beloved’s Love.  3.
