Page - 14
ਪ੍ਰੇਮ ਰਸ ਬਸਿ ਹੁਇ ਪਤੰਗ ਸੰਗਮ ਨ ਜਾਨੈ ਬਿਰਹ ਬਿਛੋਹ ਮੀਨ ਹੁਇ ਨ ਮਰਿ ਜਾਨੇ ਹੈ ।
prem ras bas hue patang sangam na jaanai birah bichhoh meen hue na mar jaane hai |In order to become one with my dear beloved, I, a deceitful lover, not possessed by his love, did not learn from a mot how to die in separation from him, nor did I learn from fish how to die in the separation of beloved.
ਦਰਸ ਧਿਆਨ ਜੋਤਿ ਮੈ ਨ ਹੁਇ ਜੋਤੀ ਸਰੂਪ ਚਰਨ ਬਿਮੁਖ ਹੋਇ ਪ੍ਰਾਨ ਠਹਰਾਨੇ ਹੈ ।
daras dhiaan jot mai na hue jotee saroop charan bimukh hoe praan tthaharaane hai |And here I am who is not making any effort to merge in my Lord by keeping his refulgence in my heart; and yet with all this recalcitrance, I am alive.
ਮਿਲਿ ਬਿਛਰਤ ਗਤਿ ਪ੍ਰੇਮ ਨ ਬਿਰਹ ਜਾਨੀ ਮੀਨ ਅਉ ਪਤੰਗ ਮੋਹਿ ਦੇਖਤ ਲਜਾਨੇ ਹੈ ।
mil bichharat gat prem na birah jaanee meen aau patang mohi dekhat lajaane hai |I have not understood the intensity of love and consequence of death as is in the case of a moth and flame or fish and water, and therefore both moth and fish feel ashamed of my; fraudulent love.
ਮਾਨਸ ਜਨਮ ਧ੍ਰਿਗੁ ਧੰਨਿ ਹੈ ਤ੍ਰਿਗਦ ਜੋਨਿ ਕਪਟ ਸਨੇਹ ਦੇਹ ਨਰਕ ਨ ਮਾਨੇ ਹੈ ।੧੪।
maanas janam dhrig dhan hai trigad jon kapatt saneh deh narak na maane hai |14|Being a deceitful friend, my human life is damnable, whereas the reptilian species are worth appreciation for their love of their beloveds like the moth and fish. Because of my fraudulent love I will not even get a place in hell. (14)
