Complaining is not as prevalent in Gurbani as it is in Ghazals since the 18th century.
Shabads with Complaints
Karvat De Kahe Ko Maare - Kabir
Lahore Shehar Zehar Kehar Sava Pehar - Guru Nanak
Sach Sunayesi Sach ki Bela - Babarvani Guru Nanak
Eti mar pai kurlane tai ki dard na aaya - Babarvani Guru Nanak
Je Sakta Sakte Kau Maara Ta Man Ros Na Hoyi - Babarvani Guru Nanak
(Asa Mohalla 1, p-360). "When there was such slaughter and lamentation, didst not Thou, O God, feel pain?"
Crying is like a complaint. And its okay to cry.
Nanak Chinta Mat Karo, Chinta Tis Ki Hey
Birha Birha Aakhiye Birha Tu Sultan
Complaining just like hope is a raag that can be used to remember God.
Concepts
It is okay to complain to God, but not about God.
When I complain:
If you don't complain to your soul mate, who else do you complain to?
Singing oneness!
