The poet says that a happy man is never envious of the progress of others. He always follows the rules of good conduct without any fear of any action by the government. 

Explanation:

In this stanza the poet advises to pray to God daily whenever we get time. It is very necessary to lead a happy life. We should not pray to God for worldly gains but for his blessings and mercy. A man should not give harm of any kind to anybody at any time in the whole day.
