ਜੈਸੇ ਗਜਰਾਜ ਗਾਜਿ ਮਾਰਤ ਮਨੁਖ ਸਿਰਿ ਡਾਰਤ ਹੈ ਛਾਰ ਤਾਹਿ ਕਹਤ ਅਰੋਗ ਜੀ ।
jaise gajaraaj gaaj maarat manukh sir ddaarat hai chhaar taeh kahat arog jee |Just as a giant elephant trumpets, kill people and throws dust on himself, he is known to be healthy (Those who are intoxicated in their arrogance, cruel or who kick up dust are good according to the world).
ਸੂਆ ਜਿਉ ਪਿੰਜਰ ਮੈ ਕਹਤ ਬਨਾਇ ਬਾਤੈ ਪੇਖ ਸੁਨ ਕਹੈ ਤਾਹਿ ਰਾਜ ਗ੍ਰਿਹਿ ਜੋਗ ਜੀ ।
sooaa jiau pinjar mai kahat banaae baatai pekh sun kahai taeh raaj grihi jog jee |Just as a parrot in a cage listens to others conversation and copies them. Those who listen and see him, opine that he is very wise and knowledgeable. He is fit to live in king's palace. (To the world, he who talks much is a wise person).
ਤੈਸੇ ਸੁਖ ਸੰਪਤਿ ਮਾਇਆ ਮਦੋਨ ਪਾਪ ਕਰੈ ਤਾਹਿ ਕਹੈ ਸੁਖੀਆ ਰਮਤ ਰਸ ਭੋਗ ਜੀ ।
taise sukh sanpat maaeaa madon paap karai taeh kahai sukheea ramat ras bhog jee |Similarly a person enjoys and engrosses himself in countless materialistic pleasures and commits sins. People call him happy and comfortable. (In the eyes of the world, material things are means of happiness and comfort).
ਜਤੀ ਸਤੀ ਅਉ ਸੰਤੋਖੀ ਸਾਧਨ ਕੀ ਨਿੰਦਾ ਕਰੈ ਉਲਟੋਈ ਗਿਆਨ ਧਿਆਨ ਹੈ ਅਗਿਆਨ ਲੋਗ ਜੀ ।੫੨੬।
jatee satee aau santokhee saadhan kee nindaa karai ulattoee giaan dhiaan hai agiaan log jee |526|The ignorant world's perception is contrary (to the truth of Guru's words). The world slanders those who are disciplined, truthful, contented and supreme. (526)
