With that, you are engaged in playful sport;

390 : 2030
with that, I am joined to you.

390 : 2031
With that, everyone longs for you;

390 : 2032
without it, no one would even look at your face. ||1||

390 : 2033
Where is that detached soul now contained?

390 : 2034
Without it, you are miserable. ||1||Pause||

390 : 2035
With that, you are the woman of the house;

390 : 2036
with that, you are respected.

390 : 2037
With that, you are caressed;

390 : 2038
without it, you are reduced to dust. ||2||

390 : 2039
With that, you have honor and respect;

390 : 2040
with that, you have relatives in the world.

390 : 2041
With that, you are adorned in every way;

390 : 2042
without it, you are reduced to dust. ||3||

390 : 2043
That detached soul is neither born, nor dies.

390 : 2044
It acts according to the Command of the Lord's Will.

390 : 2045
O Nanak, having fashioned the body, the Lord unites the soul with it, and separates them again;

390 : 2046
He alone knows His All-powerful creative nature. ||4||31||82||
