ਗਊ ਮੁਖ ਬਾਘੁ ਜੈਸੇ ਬਸੈ ਮ੍ਰਿਗਮਾਲ ਬਿਖੈ ਕੰਗਨ ਪਹਿਰਿ ਜਿਉ ਬਿਲਈਆ ਖਗ ਮੋਹਈ ।
gaoo mukh baagh jaise basai mrigamaal bikhai kangan pahir jiau bileea khag mohee |Just as a lion posing cow-like innocence enters a herd of deer, or a cat deceives the birds impressing upon them that she has just returned from pilgrimage and thus holy,
ਜੈਸੇ ਬਗ ਧਿਆਨ ਧਾਰਿ ਕਰਤ ਅਹਾਰ ਮੀਨ ਗਨਿਕਾ ਸਿੰਗਾਰ ਸਾਜਿ ਬਿਭਿਚਾਰ ਜੋਹਈ ।
jaise bag dhiaan dhaar karat ahaar meen ganikaa singaar saaj bibhichaar johee |Just as a heron shows himself contemplating standing on one leg in water but pounces on small fish as these come near him, a whore adores herself like married Woman and waits for a lust-filled person to visit her,
ਪੰਚ ਬਟਵਾਰੋ ਭੇਖਧਾਰੀ ਜਿਉ ਸਘਾਤੀ ਹੋਇ ਅੰਤਿ ਫਾਸੀ ਡਾਰਿ ਮਾਰੈ ਦ੍ਰੋਹ ਕਰ ਦ੍ਰੋਹਈ ।
panch battavaaro bhekhadhaaree jiau saghaatee hoe ant faasee ddaar maarai droh kar drohee |Just as a dacoit adopts the garb of a noble person and become a murderer and kills others with a noose around their neck, turning out to be untrusting and treacherous.
ਕਪਟ ਸਨੇਹ ਕੈ ਮਿਲਤ ਸਾਧਸੰਗਤਿ ਮੈ ਚੰਦਨ ਸੁਗੰਧ ਬਾਂਸ ਗਠੀਲੋ ਨ ਬੋਹਈ ।੨੪੦।
