1031 : 1740
As You will, You cause all to walk; everyone acts according to Your Command. ||2||

1031 : 1742
The Lord enjoys the hearts of all, and drinks in their essence.

1031 : 1743
He Himself gives, and He himself takes; He is the generous father of the beings of the three worlds. ||3||

1031 : 1744
Creating the world, He has set His play into motion.

How rare is that Gurmukh who understands this, and through the Word of the Shabad, remains unattached.

1031 : 1749
The faithless cynics are drowned and burnt through their evil-mindedness. The Guru saves those who are imbued with the Love of the Lord. ||5||

1031 : 1750
Water, fire, air, earth and ether

1031 : 1751
- in that house of the five elements, they dwell.

1031 : 1752
Those who remain imbued with the Word of the True Guru's Shabad, renounce Maya, egotism and doubt. ||6||

1031 : 1753
This mind is drenched with the Shabad, and satisfied.

1031 : 1754
Without the Name, what support can anyone have?

1031 : 1755
The temple of the body is being plundered by the thieves within, but this faithless cynic does not even recognize these demons. ||7||

1031 : 1756
They are argumentative demons, terrifying goblins.

1031 : 1757
These demons stir up conflict and strife.

1031 : 1758
Without awareness of the Shabad, one comes and goes in reincarnation; he loses his honor in this coming and going. ||8||

1031 : 1759

1031 : 1760
Without the Name, what honor can you have?

1031 : 1761
Bound and gagged throughout the four ages, there is no liberation; the Messenger of Death keeps such a person under his gaze. ||9||

1031 : 1762
At Death's door, he is tied up and punished;

1031 : 1763
such a sinner does not obtain salvation.

1031 : 1764
He cries out in pain, like the fish pierced by the hook. ||10||

1031 : 1765
The faithless cynic is caught in the noose all alone.

1031 : 1766
The miserable spiritually blind person is caught in the power of Death.

1031 : 1767
Without the Lord's Name, liberation is not known. He shall waste away, today or tomorrow. ||11||

1031 : 1768
Other than the True Guru, no one is your friend.

1031 : 1769
Here and hereafter, God is the Savior.

1031 : 1770
