ਜੈਸੇ ਬਛੁਰਾ ਬਿਛੁਰ ਪਰੈ ਆਨ ਗਾਇ ਥਨ ਦੁਗਧ ਨ ਪਾਨ ਕਰੈ ਮਾਰਤ ਹੈ ਲਾਤ ਕੀ ।
jaise bachhuraa bichhur parai aan gaae than dugadh na paan karai maarat hai laat kee |

Just as a calf separated from his mother rushes to suck milk from another cow's teats, and he is denied sucking milk by the cow who kicks him away.

ਜੈਸੇ ਮਾਨਸਰ ਤਿਆਗਿ ਹੰਸ ਆਨਸਰ ਜਾਤ ਖਾਤ ਨ ਮੁਕਤਾਫਲ ਭੁਗਤ ਜੁਗਾਤ ਕੀ ।
jaise maanasar tiaag hans aanasar jaat khaat na mukataafal bhugat jugaat kee |

Just as a swan leaving Mansarover lake goes to some other lake cannot get his food of pearls to eat from there.

ਜੈਸੇ ਰਾਜ ਦੁਆਰ ਤਜਿ ਆਨ ਦੁਆਰ ਜਾਤ ਜਨ ਹੋਤ ਮਾਨੁ ਭੰਗੁ ਮਹਿਮਾ ਨ ਕਾਹੂ ਬਾਤ ਕੀ ।
jaise raaj duaar taj aan duaar jaat jan hot maan bhang mahimaa na kaahoo baat kee |

Just as a guard on the door of the king leaves and serves on another's door, it hurts his pride and does not help his glory and grandeur anyway.

ਤੈਸੇ ਗੁਰਸਿਖ ਆਨ ਦੇਵ ਕੀ ਸਰਨ ਜਾਹਿ ਰਹਿਓ ਨ ਪਰਤ ਰਾਖਿ ਸਕਤ ਨ ਪਾਤ ਕੀ ।੪੪੧।
taise gurasikh aan dev kee saran jaeh rahio na parat raakh sakat na paat kee |441|

Similarly, if a devoted disciple of Guru leaves the refuge of his Guru and goes into the protection of other gods and goddesses, he cannot find his stay there worthwhile nor anyone would show any respect and regard towards him being a blemished sinner. (
