Suggested List of Appropriate Gift

O my lord, give me the Name of the Lord God as my wedding gift and dowry.Har prabh maerae baabulaa har dhaevahu dhaan mai dhaajo ||
 
Give me the Lord as my wedding gown, and the Lord as my glory, to accomplish my works.Har kaparro har sobhaa dhaevahu jith savarai maeraa kaajo ||
Through devotional worship to the Lord, this ceremony is made blissful and beautiful; the Guru, the True Guru, has given this gift.Har har bhagathee kaaj suhaelaa gur sathigur dhaan dhivaaeiaa ||
Across the continents, and throughout the Universe, the Lord's Glory is pervading. This gift is not diminished by being diffused among all.Kha(n)dd varabha(n)dd har sobhaa hoee eihu dhaan n ralai ralaaeiaa ||
Any other dowry, which the self-willed manmukhs offer for show, is only false egotism and a worthless display.Hor manamukh dhaaj j rakh dhikhaalehi s koorr aha(n)kaar kach paajo ||
O my lord, please give me the Name of the Lord God as my wedding gift and dowry. ||4||

Guru Ram Daas, Page 78
Har prabh maerae baabulaa har dhaevahu dhaan mai dhaajo ||4||
Any other dowry offered is a valueless display of false pride and of no earthly use.

Guru Ram Das, Page 79, line 2
