ਜੈਸੇ ਘਰ ਲਾਗੈ ਆਗਿ ਭਾਗਿ ਨਿਕਸਤ ਖਾਨ ਪ੍ਰੀਤਮ ਪਰੋਸੀ ਧਾਇ ਜਰਤ ਬੁਝਾਵਈ ।

jaise ghar laagai aag bhaag nikasat khaan preetam parosee dhaae jarat bujhaavee |

As the owner of the house that catches fire escapes from the inferno to save his life, but sympathetic neighbours and friends rush to put the fire off,

ਗੋਧਨ ਹਰਤ ਜੈਸੇ ਕਰਤ ਪੂਕਾਰ ਗੋਪ ਗਾਉ ਮੈ ਗੁਹਾਰ ਲਾਗਿ ਤੁਰਤ ਛਡਾਵਈ ।

godhan harat jaise karat pookaar gop gaau mai guhaar laag turat chhaddaavee |

As a herdsman shouts for help when his cattle are being stolen, the village folks chase the thieves and recover the cattle,

ਬੂਡਤ ਅਥਾਹ ਜੈਸੇ ਪ੍ਰਬਲ ਪ੍ਰਵਾਹ ਬਿਖੈ ਪੇਖਤ ਪੈਰਊਆ ਵਾਰ ਪਾਰ ਲੈ ਲਗਾਵਈ ।

booddat athaah jaise prabal pravaah bikhai pekhat pairaooaa vaar paar lai lagaavee |

As a person may be drowning in rapid and deep water and an expert swimmer rescues him and reaches him on the other bank to safety,

ਤੈਸੇ ਅੰਤ ਕਾਲ ਜਮ ਜਾਲ ਕਾਲ ਬਿਆਲ ਗ੍ਰਸੇ ਗੁਰਸਿਖ ਸਾਧ ਸੰਤ ਸੰਕਟ ਮਿਟਾਵਹੀ ।੧੬੭।

taise ant kaal jam jaal kaal biaal grase gurasikh saadh sant sankatt mittaavahee |167|

Similarly, when death-like snake is entangling a person in the throes of death, seeking help of saintly and holy persons allay that distress. (167)
