He is pleased at the sight of his elephants and horses

176 : 1048
and his armies assembled, his servants and his soldiers.

176 : 1049
But the noose of egotism is tightening around his neck. ||2||

176 : 1050
His rule may extend in all ten directions;

176 : 1051
he may revel in pleasures, and enjoy many women

176 : 1052
- but he is just a beggar, who in his dream, is a king. ||3||

176 : 1053
The True Guru has shown me that there is only one pleasure.

176 : 1054
Whatever the Lord does, is pleasing to the Lord's devotee.

176 : 1055
Servant Nanak has abolished his ego, and he is absorbed in the Lord. ||4||

176 : 1056
This is the way to find happiness, O my Siblings of Destiny.

Why do you doubt? What do you doubt?

176 : 1060
God is pervading the water, the land and the sky.

The Gurmukhs are saved, while the self-willed manmukhs lose their honor. ||1||

One who is protected by the Merciful Lord

- no one else can rival him. ||1||Pause||

176 : 1064
The Infinite One is pervading among all.

176 : 1065
So sleep in peace, and don't worry.

176 : 1066
He knows everything which happens. ||2||

176 : 1067
The self-willed manmukhs are dying in the thirst of duality.

176 : 1068
They wander lost through countless incarnations; this is their pre-ordained destiny.

176 : 1069
As they plant, so shall they harvest. ||3||

176 : 1070
Beholding the Blessed Vision of the Lord's Darshan, my mind has blossomed forth.

176 : 1071
And now everywhere I look, God is revealed to me.

176 : 1074
In so many incarnations, you were a worm and an insect;

176 : 1075
in so many incarnations, you were an elephant, a fish and a deer.

176 : 1076
In so many incarnations, you were a bird and a snake.

176 : 1081
in so many incarnations, you were aborted in the womb;

176 : 1082
in so many incarnations, you developed branches and leaves;

176 : 1083
you wandered through 8.4 million incarnations. ||2||

176 : 1084
Through the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy, you obtained this human life.

Keep the Name of the Lord, Har, Har, enshrined in your heart,

176 : 1098
and your affairs shall be quickly resolved. ||1||Pause||

176 : 1099
Be always attentive to your God;

176 : 1100
thus you shall be honored in His Court.
