Kabit Savaiye Bhai Gurdas Ji

Page - 509


ਜੈਸੇ ਰੈਨਿ ਸਮੈ ਸਬ ਲੋਗ ਮੈ ਸੰਜੋਗ ਭੋਗ ਚਕਈ ਬਿਓਗ ਸੋਗ ਭਾਗ ਹੀਨੁ ਜਾਨੀਐ ।
jaise rain samai sab log mai sanjog bhog chakee biog sog bhaag heen jaaneeai |

Just as everyone enjoys the company of their dear ones at night, but a ruddy sheldrake is considered unfortunate having been separated from its beloved.

ਜੈਸੇ ਦਿਨਕਰਿ ਕੈ ਉਦੋਤਿ ਜੋਤਿ ਜਗਮਗ ਉਲੂ ਅੰਧ ਕੰਧ ਪਰਚੀਨ ਉਨਮਾਨੀਐ ।
jaise dinakar kai udot jot jagamag uloo andh kandh paracheen unamaaneeai |

Just as sunrise brightens up the place but an owl is seen hidden in dark allays and walls.

ਸਰਵਰ ਸਰਿਤਾ ਸਮੁੰਦ੍ਰ ਜਲ ਪੂਰਨ ਹੈ ਤ੍ਰਿਖਾਵੰਤ ਚਾਤ੍ਰਕ ਰਹਤ ਬਕ ਬਾਨੀਐ ।
saravar saritaa samundr jal pooran hai trikhaavant chaatrak rahat bak baaneeai |

Ponds, streams and oceans are seen to be full to the brim with water, but longing for rain, a rain-bird remains thirsty and keeps wailing and crying for that Swati drop.

ਤੈਸੇ ਮਿਲਿ ਸਾਧਸੰਗਿ ਸਕਲ ਸੰਸਾਰ ਤਰਿਓ ਮੋਹਿ ਅਪਰਾਧੀ ਅਪਰਾਧਨੁ ਬਿਹਾਨੀਐ ।੫੦੯।
taise mil saadhasang sakal sansaar tario mohi aparaadhee aparaadhan bihaaneeai |509|

Similarly by associating themselves with the congregation of the True Guru, the whole world is sailing across the worldly ocean but I, the sinner is spending all his life in evil deeds and vices. (509)
