ਘੋਸਲਾ ਮੈ ਅੰਡਾ ਤਜਿ ਉਡਤ ਅਕਾਸਚਾਰੀ ਸੰਧਿਆ ਸਮੈ ਅੰਡਾ ਹੋਤਿ ਚੇਤਿ ਫਿਰਿ ਆਵਈ ।
ghosalaa mai anddaa taj uddat akaasachaaree sandhiaa samai anddaa hot chet fir aavee |Just as a bird flies away in the open sky from the comfort of its nest, leaving its egg behind but returns due to its concern for the baby bird in the egg,
ਤਿਰੀਆ ਤਿਆਗ ਸੁਤ ਜਾਤ ਬਨ ਖੰਡ ਬਿਖੈ ਸੁਤ ਕੀ ਸੁਰਤਿ ਗ੍ਰਿਹ ਆਇ ਸੁਖ ਪਾਵਈ ।
tireea tiaag sut jaat ban khandd bikhai sut kee surat grih aae sukh paavee |Just as a labour woman leaves her child home under compulsion and goes to the jungle to pick up firewood, but keeps the memory of her child in the mind and finds comfort on returning home;
ਜੈਸੇ ਜਲ ਕੁੰਡ ਕਰਿ ਛਾਡੀਅਤ ਜਲਚਰੀ ਜਬ ਚਾਹੇ ਤਬ ਗਹਿ ਲੇਤ ਮਨਿ ਭਾਵਈ ।
jaise jal kundd kar chhaaddeeat jalacharee jab chaahe tab geh let man bhaavee |Just as a pool of water is made and fish released in it to be caught again at one's will.
ਤੈਸੇ ਚਿਤ ਚੰਚਲ ਭ੍ਰਮਤ ਹੈ ਚਤੁਰ ਕੁੰਟ ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਬੋਹਿਥ ਬਿਹੰਗ ਠਹਰਾਵਈ ।੧੮੪।
taise chit chanchal bhramat hai chatur kuntt satigur bohith bihang tthaharaavee |184|So does the frolicsome mind of a human being wanders in all the four directions. But due to the ship-like Naam blessed by the True Guru, the wandering bird-like mind comes and rests in the self. (184)
