ਸਕਲ ਬਨਾਸਪਤੀ ਬਿਖੈ ਦ੍ਰੁਮ ਦੀਰਘ ਦੁਇ ਨਿਹਫਲ ਭਏ ਬੂਡੇ ਬਹੁਤ ਬਡਾਈ ਕੈ ।

sakal banaasapatee bikhai drum deeragh due nihafal bhe boodde bahut baddaaee kai |

Amongst all the vegetation, both Silk cotton (Simhal) and Bamboo are the tallest but feeling proud of their size and greatness, they remain failures.

ਚੰਦਨ ਸੁਬਾਸਨਾ ਕੈ ਸੇਂਬੁਲ ਸੁਬਾਸ ਹੋਤ ਬਾਂਸੁ ਨਿਰਗੰਧ ਬਹੁ ਗਾਂਠਨੁ ਢਿਠਾਈ ਕੈ ।

chandan subaasanaa kai senbul subaas hot baans niragandh bahu gaantthan dtitthaaee kai |

At least a Silk cotton tree do acquire some fragrance from a Sandalwood tree but due to the obstinacy of the knots, a Bamboo tree remains bereft of Sandalwood smell.

ਸੇਂਬਲ ਕੇ ਫਲ ਤੂਲ ਖਗ ਮ੍ਰਿਗ ਛਾਇਆ ਤਾ ਕੈ ਬਾਂਸੁ ਤਉ ਬਰਨ ਦੋਖੀ ਜਾਰਤ ਬੁਰਾਈ ਕੈ ।

senbal ke fal tool khag mrig chhaaeaa taa kai baans tau baran dokhee jaarat buraaee kai |

The cotton of the Silk cotton tree is put to use. The vast expanse of the tree provides shade for birds and other animals, but a Bamboo is family destroyer and due to its evil nature, it burns the other Bamboos that it rubs with.

ਤੈਸੇ ਹੀ ਅਸਾਧ ਸਾਧ ਹੋਤਿ ਸਾਧਸੰਗਤਿ ਕੈ ਤ੍ਰਿਸਟੈ ਨ ਗੁਰ ਗੋਪਿ ਦ੍ਰੋਹ ਗੁਰਭਾਈ ਕੈ ।੩੦੭।

taise hee asaadh saadh hot saadhasangat kai trisattai na gur gop droh gurabhaaee kai |307|

Similarly an apostate Sikh becomes an obedient of the Guru by obtaining his sermons and enjoying the company of godly persons. But one who turns his face despite belonging to Guru, who is guilty of doing wrong to his Guru-brothers pushed around from door
