Siree Raag, First Mehl, Pehray, First House:
74
:
2433
In the first watch of the night, O my merchant friend, you were cast into the womb, by the Lord's Command.
74
:
2434
Upside-down, within the womb, you performed penance, O my merchant friend, and you prayed to your Lord and Master.
74
:
2435
You uttered prayers to your Lord and Master, while upside-down, and you meditated on Him with deep love and affection.
74
:
2436
You came into this Dark Age of Kali Yuga naked, and you shall depart again naked.
74
:
2437
As God's Pen has written on your forehead, so it shall be with your soul.
74
:
2438
Says Nanak, in the first watch of the night, by the Hukam of the Lord's Command, you enter into the womb. ||1||
