ਕਊਆ ਜਉ ਮਰਾਲ ਸਭਾ ਜਾਇ ਬੈਠੇ ਮਾਨਸਰ ਦੁਚਿਤ ਉਦਾਸ ਬਾਸ ਆਸ ਦੁਰਗੰਧ ਕੀ ।
kaooaa jau maraal sabhaa jaae baitthe maanasar duchit udaas baas aas duragandh kee |If a crow joins the company of swans on the bank of lake Mansarover (a sacred lake in Himalayas) he will feel morose and in two minds since he cannot find any sullage there.
ਸ੍ਵਾਨ ਜਿਉ ਬੈਠਾਈਐ ਸੁਭਗ ਪ੍ਰਜੰਗ ਪਾਰ ਤਿਆਗਿ ਜਾਇ ਚਾਕੀ ਚਾਟੈ ਹੀਨ ਮਤ ਅੰਧ ਕੀ ।
svaan jiau baitthaaeeai subhag prajang paar tiaag jaae chaakee chaattai heen mat andh kee |Just as a dog is made to sit on a comfortable bed, being of base wisdom and foolish he will leave it and go to lick millstone.
ਗਰਧਬ ਅੰਗ ਅਰਗਜਾ ਜਉ ਲੇਪਨ ਕੀਜੈ ਲੋਟਤ ਭਸਮ ਸੰਗਿ ਹੈ ਕੁਟੇਵ ਕੰਧ ਕੀ ।
garadhab ang aragajaa jau lepan keejai lottat bhasam sang hai kuttev kandh kee |If a donkey is applied with paste of sandalwood, saffron and musk etc., he will still go and roll in the dust as is his character.
