ਜੈਸੇ ਤਉ ਸਲਿਲ ਮਿਲਿ ਬਰਨ ਬਰਨ ਬਿਖੈ ਜਾਹੀ ਜਾਹੀ ਰੰਗ ਮਿਲੈ ਸੋਈ ਹੁਇ ਦਿਖਾਵਈ ।
jaise tau salil mil baran baran bikhai jaahee jaahee rang milai soee hue dikhaavee |As water acquires the hue of colour that is mixed in it, As the clarified butter conveys to the tongue the taste of the vegetable and other items cooked in it,
ਜੈਸੇ ਘ੍ਰਿਤ ਜਾਹੀ ਜਾਹੀ ਪਾਕ ਸਾਕ ਸੰਗ ਮਿਲੈ ਤੈਸੇ ਤੈਸੋ ਸ੍ਵਾਦ ਰਸ ਰਸਨਾ ਚਖਾਵਈ ।
jaise ghrit jaahee jaahee paak saak sang milai taise taiso svaad ras rasanaa chakhaavee |As a mimic has a definite character of his own adopts different characters for mimicry but he is known by the character that he is mimicking at that moment,
ਜੈਸੇ ਸ੍ਵਾਂਗੀ ਏਕੁ ਹੁਇ ਅਨੇਕ ਭਾਤਿ ਭੇਖ ਧਾਰੈ ਜੋਈ ਜੋਈ ਸ੍ਵਾਂਗ ਕਾਛੈ ਸੋਈ ਤਉ ਕਹਾਵਈ ।
jaise svaangee ek hue anek bhaat bhekh dhaarai joee joee svaang kaachhai soee tau kahaavee |So does a man of frolicsome mind takes to vices in the company of those whose minds are restless and playful.
ਤੈਸੇ ਚਿਤ ਚੰਚਲ ਚਪਲ ਸੰਗ ਦੋਖੁ ਲੇਪ ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਹੋਇ ਏਕ ਟੇਕ ਠਹਰਾਵਈ ।੧੬੧।
taise chit chanchal chapal sang dokh lep guramukh hoe ek ttek tthaharaavee |161|But an obedient Sikh of the True Guru becomes God-oriented in the company and teachings of the True Guru. (161)
