Known as favourite and loved one of the Master who has many women, when her turn to receive her Master's blessings came she was over-powered by the sleep of ignorance. The sleep-filled eyes made me unaware of everything.

But those Sikh sentient beings who were filled with love in their hearts when they heard that their Master was coming, they forsake sleep and remained alert in their faith and love for the meeting.

Despite being favourite of my Master, I remained sleeping in ignorance. I remained bereft of meeting my comfort-giving beloved. I remained wherever I was, separated and bereft of His love and blessings. This is what sleep of ignorance did to me.

This dream like happening did not let me meet my beloved. Now the death-like night of separation neither ends nor terminates. (219)
