Justice is in Your Hands, O Lord; You are pleasing to my mind.

The mortal is bound and gagged by Death and lead away; no one can rescue him.

Old age, the tyrant, dances on the mortal's shoulders.

So climb aboard the boat of the True Guru, and the True Lord will rescue you.

The fire of desire burns like an oven, consuming mortals night and day.

faathaa chugai chog hukamee chhuttasee |
Like trapped birds, the mortals peck at the corn; only through the Lord's Command will they find release.

Whatever the Creator does, comes to pass; falsehood shall fail in the end. ||26||
