ਜੈਸੇ ਕੁਲਾ ਬਧੂ ਅੰਗ ਰਚਤਿ ਸੀਗਾਰ ਖੋੜਿ ਤੇਈ ਗਨਿਕਾ ਰਚਤ ਸਕਲ ਸਿਗਾਰ ਜੀ ।
jaise kulaa badhoo ang rachat seegaar khorr teee ganikaa rachat sakal sigaar jee |Just as a lady of a noble house adorns herself with sixteen types of embellishments and even a harlot does the same;
ਕੁਲਾ ਬਧੂ ਸਿਹਜਾ ਸਮੈ ਰਮੈ ਭਤਾਰ ਏਕ ਬੇਸ੍ਵਾ ਤਉ ਅਨੇਕ ਸੈ ਕਰਤ ਬਿਭਚਾਰ ਜੀ ।
kulaa badhoo sihajaa samai ramai bhataar ek besvaa tau anek sai karat bibhachaar jee |The lady of the noble house enjoys the bed of one person her husband, whereas a harlot shares her bed with many persons;
ਕੁਲਾਬਧੂ ਸੰਗਮੁ ਸੁਜਮ ਨਿਰਦੋਖ ਮੋਖ ਬੇਸ੍ਵਾ ਪਰਸਤ ਅਪਜਸ ਹੁਇ ਬਿਕਾਰ ਜੀ ।
kulaabadhoo sangam sujam niradokh mokh besvaa parasat apajas hue bikaar jee |For her love of her husband, the lady of the noble house is praised, admired and is free of any calumny whereas a prostitute earns notoriety for her blemishes and offering herself to others.
ਤੈਸੇ ਗੁਰਸਿਖਨ ਕਉ ਪਰਮ ਪਵਿਤ੍ਰ ਮਾਇਆ ਸੋਈ ਦੁਖਦਾਇਕ ਹੁਇ ਦਹਤਿ ਸੰਸਾਰ ਜੀ ।੩੮੪।
taise gurasikhan kau param pavitr maaeaa soee dukhadaaeik hue dahat sansaar jee |384|Similarly the mammon (maya) becomes good for obedient Sikhs of the Guru who use it for good of others according to the teachings of the Guru. But the same mammon becomes troublesome to the worldly people and causes them distress and sufferings. (384)
