ਕਾਰਤਕ ਜੈਸੇ ਦੀਪਮਾਲਕਾ ਰਜਨੀ ਸਮੈ ਦੀਪ ਜੋਤਿ ਕੋ ਉਦੋਤ ਹੋਤ ਹੀ ਬਿਲਾਤ ਹੈ ।
kaaratak jaise deepamaalakaa rajanee samai deep jot ko udot hot hee bilaat hai |Just as on festival of Diwali, that falls in the Indian month of Kartik, many earthen lamps are lit at night, and their light go off after a short period;
ਬਰਖਾ ਸਮੈ ਜੈਸੇ ਬੁਦਬੁਦਾ ਕੌ ਪ੍ਰਗਾਸ ਤਾਸ ਨਾਮ ਪਲਕ ਮੈ ਨ ਤਉ ਠਹਿਰਾਤ ਹੈ ।
barakhaa samai jaise budabudaa kau pragaas taas naam palak mai na tau tthahiraat hai |Just as bubbles appear on water when rain-drops on it, and very soon these bubbles explode and disappear from the surface;
ਗ੍ਰੀਖਮ ਸਮੈ ਜੈਸੇ ਤਉ ਮ੍ਰਿਗ ਤ੍ਰਿਸਨਾ ਚਰਿਤ੍ਰ ਝਾਈ ਸੀ ਦਿਖਾਈ ਦੇਤ ਉਪਜਿ ਸਮਾਤ ਹੈ ।
greekham samai jaise tau mrig trisanaa charitr jhaaee see dikhaaee det upaj samaat hai |Just as a thirsty deer is disillusioned of the presence of water, the hot shimmering sand (mirage) that disappears in time then he reaches that spot;
ਤੈਸੇ ਮੋਹ ਮਾਇਆ ਛਾਇਆ ਬਿਰਖ ਚਪਲ ਛਲ ਛਲੈ ਛੈਲ ਸ੍ਰੀ ਗੁਰ ਚਰਨ ਲਪਟਾਤ ਹੈ ।੩੧੧।
taise moh maaeaa chhaaeaa birakh chapal chhal chhalai chhail sree gur charan lapattaat hai |311|So is the love of Maya that keeps changing its master like the shadow of a tree. But the Naam practitioner devotee of the Guru who remains engrossed in the holy feet of the True, he is able to control the attractive and trickster maya with ease. (311)
