ਜੈਸੇ ਤਉ ਕਰਤ ਸੁਤ ਅਨਿਕ ਇਆਨਪਨ ਤਊ ਨ ਜਨਨੀ ਅਤੁਗਨ ਉਰਿ ਧਾਰਿਓ ਹੈ ।
jaise tau karat sut anik eaanapan taoo na jananee atugan ur dhaario hai |

Just as a mother ignores many of her son's amateurish deeds and brings him up with love and care.

ਜੈਸੇ ਤਉ ਸਰਨਿ ਸੂਰਿ ਪੂਰਨ ਪਰਤਗਿਆ ਰਾਖੈ ਅਨਿਕ ਅਵਗਿਆ ਕੀਏ ਮਾਰਿ ਨ ਬਿਡਾਰਿਓ ਹੈ ।
jaise tau saran soor pooran paratagiaa raakhai anik avagiaa kee maar na biddaario hai |

Just as a warrior abides by his woe/pledge in respect of one who comes in his refuge and despite his showing disrespect does not kill him.

ਜੈਸੇ ਤਉ ਸਰਿਤਾ ਜਲੁ ਕਾਸਟਹਿ ਨ ਬੋਰਤ ਕਰਤ ਚਿਤ ਲਾਜ ਅਪਨੋਈ ਪ੍ਰਤਿਪਾਰਿਓ ਹੈ ।
jaise tau saritaa jal kaasatteh na borat karat chit laaj apanoee pratipaario hai |

Just as a log of wood does not sink in river, since it carries a latent respect that he (river) has helped the tree grow by providing it with life-giving water.

ਤੈਸੇ ਹੀ ਪਰਮ ਗੁਰ ਪਾਰਸ ਪਰਸ ਗਤਿ ਸਿਖਨ ਕੋ ਕਿਰਤੁ ਕਰਮੁ ਕਛੂ ਨਾ ਬਿਚਾਰਿਓ ਹੈ ।੩੭੯।
taise hee param gur paaras paras gat sikhan ko kirat karam kachhoo naa bichaario hai |379|

So is the great benefactor True Guru who like a philosopher stone is capable of turning the Sikhs into gold-like metal. He does not dwell on their erstwhile deeds and by blessing them with Naam Simran, make them virtuous like Himself. (379)
