ਕੋਇਲਾ ਸੀਤਲ ਕਰ ਕਰਤ ਸਿਆਮ ਗਹੇ ਪਰਸ ਤਪਤ ਪਰਦਗਧ ਕਰਤ ਹੈ ।
koeilaa seetal kar karat siaam gahe paras tapat paradagadh karat hai |A burnt out coal when held in hand blackens it but causes burns when held if burning. (Coal is problematic both when cold or burning)
ਕੂਕਰ ਕੇ ਚਾਟਤ ਕਲੇਵਰਹਿ ਲਾਗੈ ਛੋਤਿ ਕਾਟਤ ਸਰੀਰ ਪੀਰ ਧੀਰ ਨ ਧਰਤ ਹੈ ।
kookar ke chaattat kalevareh laagai chhot kaattat sareer peer dheer na dharat hai |Just as dog's lick is contagious and causes unbearable pain when it bites. (Dogs lick and bite both are troublesome).
ਫੂਟਤ ਜਿਉ ਗਾਗਰਿ ਪਰਤ ਹੀ ਪਖਾਨ ਪਰਿ ਪਾਹਨ ਪਰਤਿ ਪੁਨਿ ਗਾਗਰਿ ਹਰਤ ਹੈ ।
foottat jiau gaagar parat hee pakhaan par paahan parat pun gaagar harat hai |Just as a pitcher breaks when dropped on a stone, and it also breaks when stone drops on it. (A stone is destroyer of a pitcher in every way).
ਤੈਸੇ ਹੀ ਅਸਾਧ ਸੰਗਿ ਪ੍ਰੀਤ ਹੂ ਬਿਰੋਧ ਬੁਰੋ ਲੋਕ ਪਰਲੋਕ ਦੁਖ ਦੋਖ ਨ ਟਰਤ ਹੈ ।੩੮੮।
taise hee asaadh sang preet hoo birodh buro lok paralok dukh dokh na ttarat hai |388|So is developing loving relationship with evil-minded persons. Loving him or showing dissent towards him is equally bad. Thus one cannot escape from pain and sufferings of this world and the world hereafter. (388)
