ਜੈਸੇ ਤਉ ਪਲਾਸ ਪਤ੍ਰ ਨਾਗਬੇਲ ਮੇਲ ਭਏ ਪਹੁਚਤ ਕਰਿ ਨਰਪਤ ਜਗ ਜਾਨੀਐ ।
jaise tau palaas patr naagabel mel bhe pahuchat kar narapat jag jaaneeai |Just as a meritless leaf of Butea frondosa when enjoins a betel leaf can reach the hands of the king and this is known the world over.
ਜੈਸੇ ਤਉ ਕੁਚੀਲ ਨੀਲ ਬਰਨ ਬਰਨੁ ਬਿਖੈ ਹੀਰ ਚੀਰ ਸੰਗਿ ਨਿਰਦੋਖ ਉਨਮਾਨੀਐ ।
jaise tau kucheel neel baran baran bikhai heer cheer sang niradokh unamaaneeai |Just as blue colour is regarded dirty amongst all the colours, but a dress of that colour when enjoins a diamond is considered flawless and unadulterated.
ਸਾਲਗ੍ਰਾਮ ਸੇਵਾ ਸਮੈ ਮਹਾ ਅਪਵਿਤ੍ਰ ਸੰਖ ਪਰਮ ਪਵਿਤ੍ਰ ਜਗ ਭੋਗ ਬਿਖੈ ਆਨੀਐ ।
saalagraam sevaa samai mahaa apavitr sankh param pavitr jag bhog bikhai aaneeai |Just as a conch is high by impious, being the skeleton of a sea worm, but its sounding at the time of worship of idols, distribution of consecrated offerings and holding of yoga is considered supreme and sacred.
ਤੈਸੇ ਮਮ ਕਾਗ ਸਾਧਸੰਗਤਿ ਮਰਾਲ ਮਾਲ ਮਾਰ ਨ ਉਠਾਵਤ ਗਾਵਤ ਗੁਰਬਾਨੀਐ ।੫੦੧।
taise mam kaag saadhasangat maraal maal maar na utthaavat gaavat gurabaaneeai |501|Similarly, a congregation of saintly persons in the presence of True Guru is an assembly of swans where I, person of crow- like temperament indulging in singing of Gurbani not turned out and away. (501)
