shreshtgeet 6:1-13
6 “ae ladkiyon mein sabse khoobsoorat ladki,tera saajan kahaan gaya?
woh kis raaste gaya hai?
chalo, hum milkar use dhoondhein.”
2 “mera saajan neeche apni bagiya mein,khushboodar paudhon ki sej ki taraf gaya hai.vahaan woh apni bhedein chara raha haiaur sosan* ke fool chun raha hai.+
3 mera saajan mera hai aur main apne saajan ki hoon.+
woh maidan mein bhedein chara raha hai jahaan sosan* ke fool khile hain.”+
4 “ae meri jaan,+ tu tirsa*+ jaisi sundaraur yarooshalem jaisi pyari hai,+tu jhande fahrati hui sena jaisi hai,jise dekhkar kisi ke bhi hosh ud jaayen.+
5 mujh par se apni nazar+ hata le,yah mujhe bekrar kar deti hai.
teri zulfein gilad ke pahadon se utarti bakriyon ke jhund jaisi hain.+
6 tere daant un ujli bhedon ke samaan hain,jo nahakar paani se baahar aayi hain.sab-ke-sab seedh mein khade hain, harek ka jodeedar hai,unmein se koi bhi chhoota nahin hai.
7 ghoonghat mein tere gaalon* ki chamak,anar ki faank jaisi hai.
8 60 raaniyon, 80 up-patniyonaur behisab javan ladkiyon mein,+
9 vahi meri faakhta,+ meri bedag mehbooba hai,woh apni maa ki sabse pyari bitiya,apni janm denevali ki laadli hai.
use dekhkar ladkiyaan use dhanya kehti hain,raaniyaan aur up-patniyaan uski taareef karti hain.
10 ‘yah kaun hai jo subah ki chhata bikher rahi hai,poonam ke chaand-si khil rahi hai,sooraj ki tarah ujli hai?yah kaun hai jo jhande fahrati hui sena jaisi hai,jise dekhkar kisi ke bhi hosh ud jaayen?’”+
11 “main neeche falon ke baag mein gayi+ki dekhoon, ghaati ke pedon par fool-patte aaye hain ya nahin,angoor ki belon par kopleinaur anar ke pedon par fool khile hain ya nahin.
12 inhein dekhne ki meri khvahish,kab mujhe apne bhale logon ke shaahi rath ki or le gayi,mujhe pata hi nahin chala.”
13 “hey shoolemmin, laut aa!
laut aa ki hum tujhe ji-bharkar dekh sakein!”
“bhala is shoolemmin mein tumhein aisa kya nazar aaya?”+
“woh aisi hai jaise mahnaim* ka naach ho.”
