II

It is the second watch; awake, O heedless one. Watch thy property, O mortal; thy field is being eaten up. Watch thy field, love God's praises; while thou art awake, the thief shall not touch thee. Then shalt thou not go the way of Death, nor suffer from him; the fear and dread of him shall depart. The lamps of the sun and moon shall shine for thee, if thou under the Guru's instruction ponder on the True One in thy heart, and utter His name with thy lips. Nanak, the fool heedeth not even now; how shall he obtain happiness in the second watch?
