1110 : 101
O Nanak, day and night, my Beloved enjoys me; with the Lord as my Husband, my Marriage is Eternal. ||17||1||

1110 : 102
Tukhaari, First Mehl:

1110 : 103
In the first watch of the dark night, O bride of splendored eyes,

1110 : 104
protect your riches; your turn is coming soon.

1110 : 105
When your turn comes, who will wake you? While you sleep, your juice shall be sucked out by the Messenger of Death.

1110 : 106
The night is so dark; what will become of your honor? The thieves will break into your home and rob you.

1110 : 107
O Saviour Lord, Inaccessible and Infinite, please hear my prayer.

1110 : 108
O Nanak, the fool never remembers Him; what can he see in the dark of night? ||1||

1110 : 109
The second watch has begun; wake up, you unconscious being!

1110 : 110
Protect your riches, O mortal; your farm is being eaten.

1110 : 111
Protect your crops, and love the Lord, the Guru. Stay awake and aware, and the thieves shall not rob you.

1110 : 112
You shall not have to go on the path of Death, and you shall not suffer in pain; your fear and terror of death shall run away.

1110 : 113
The lamps of the sun and the moon are lit by the Guru's Teachings, through His Door, meditating on the True Lord, in the mind and with the mouth.

1110 : 114
O Nanak, the fool still does not remember the Lord. How can he find peace in duality? ||2||

1110 : 115
The third watch has begun, and sleep has set in.

1110 : 116
The mortal suffers in pain, from attachment to Maya, children and spouse.

1110 : 117
Maya, his children, his wife and the world are so dear to him; he bites the bait, and is caught.

1110 : 118
Meditating on the Naam, the Name of the Lord, he shall find peace; following the Guru's Teachings, he shall not be seized by death.

1110 : 119
He cannot escape from birth, dying and death; without the Name, he suffers.

Continued...

1110 : 120
O Nanak, in the third watch of the three-phased Maya, the world is engrossed in attachment to Maya. ||3||

1110 : 121
The fourth watch has begun, and the day is about to dawn.

1110 : 122
Those who remain awake and aware, night and day, preserve and protect their homes.

1110 : 123
The night is pleasant and peaceful, for those who remain awake; following the Guru's advice, they focus on the Naam.

1110 : 124
Those who practice the Word of the Guru's Shabad are not reincarnated again; the Lord God is their Best Friend.

1110 : 125
The hands shake, the feet and body totter, the vision goes dark, and the body turns to dust.

1110 : 126
O Nanak, people are miserable throughout the four ages, if the Name of the Lord does not abide in the mind. ||4||

1110 : 127
The knot has been untied; rise up - the order has come!

1110 : 128
Pleasures and comforts are gone; like a prisoner, you are driven on.

1110 : 129
You shall be bound and gagged, when it pleases God; you will not see or hear it coming.

1110 : 130
Everyone will have their turn; the crop ripens, and then it is cut down.

1110 : 131
The account is kept for every second, every instant; the soul suffers for the bad and the good.

1110 : 132
O Nanak, the angelic beings are united with the Word of the Shabad; this is the way God made it. ||5||2||

1110 : 133
Tukhaari, First Mehl:

1110 : 134
The meteor shoots across the sky. How can it be seen with the eyes?

1110 : 135
The True Guru reveals the Word of the Shabad to His servant who has such perfect karma.

1110 : 136
The Guru reveals the Shabad; dwelling on the True Lord, day and night, he beholds and reflects on God.

1110 : 137
The five restless desires are restrained, and he knows the home of his own heart. He conquers sexual desire, anger and corruption.

1110 : 138
His inner being is illuminated, by the Guru's Teachings; He beholds the Lord's play of karma.
