ਜੈਸੇ ਘਨਘੋਰ ਮੋਰ ਚਾਤ੍ਰਕ ਸਨੇਹ ਗਤਿ ਬਰਖਤ ਮੇਹ ਅਸਨੇਹ ਕੈ ਦਿਖਾਵਹੀ ।
jaise ghanaghor mor chaatrak saneh gat barakhat meh asaneh kai dikhaavahee |Just as a peacock's and rain-bird's love is confined to the thunder of the clouds and this love is visible only till the rain lasts. (Their love is not lasting.)
ਜੈਸੇ ਤਉ ਕਮਲ ਜਲ ਅੰਤਰਿ ਦਿਸੰਤਰਿ ਹੁਇ ਮਧੁਕਰ ਦਿਨਕਰ ਹੇਤ ਉਪਜਾਵਹੀ ।
jaise tau kamal jal antar disantar hue madhukar dinakar het upajaavahee |Just as a lotus flower closes at sunset but remains in water and the bumble bee keeps hovering over other flowers. But at sunrise when lotus flower opens up, its love for the lotus flower resurfaces. His love is not of permanent nature.
ਦਾਦਰ ਨਿਰਾਦਰ ਹੁਇ ਜੀਅਤਿ ਪਵਨ ਭਖਿ ਜਲ ਤਜਿ ਮਾਰਤ ਨ ਪ੍ਰੇਮਹਿ ਲਜਾਵਹੀ ।
daadar niraadar hue jeeat pavan bhakh jal taj maarat na premeh lajaavahee |A frog's love with water is very disrespecting. He comes out of water to breathe air. Out of water, it does not die. He thus shames his love for water.
ਕਪਟ ਸਨੇਹੀ ਤੈਸੇ ਆਨ ਦੇਵ ਸੇਵਕੁ ਹੈ ਗੁਰਸਿਖ ਮੀਨ ਜਲ ਹੇਤ ਠਹਰਾਵਹੀ ।੪੪੨।
kapatt sanehee taise aan dev sevak hai gurasikh meen jal het tthaharaavahee |442|Similarly, a deceitful Sikh with demonstrative love is the follower of other gods and goddesses, whereas the love of a true and obedient Sikh for his True Guru is like fish and water. (He holds no love for anyone else other than the True Guru). (442)
