Entering into the dreams He wanders through far off regions.

ਰੰਕੁ ਰਾਉ ਰਾਉ ਰੰਕੁ ਹੋਇ ਦੁਖ ਸੁਖ ਵਿਚਿ ਪਉਂਦਾ ।

rank raau raau rank hoe dukh sukh vich paundaa |

Making the poor a king and the king a poor person He puts them in pain and pleasure.

tataa seearaa hoe jal aavattan khaundaa |

In the form of water He Himself gets hot and cold.

ਹਰਖ ਸੋਗ ਵਿਚਿ ਧਾਂਵਦਾ ਚਾਵਾਏ ਚਉਂਦਾ ।

harakh sog vich dhaanvadaa chaavaae chaundaa |

Amidst sorrows and delights He moves around and responds to the call when called.

aape aap varatadaa guramukh sukh raundaa |4|

The gurmukh, realising His nature of premeating through all, attains happiness.
