ਜਉ ਗਰਬੈ ਬਹੁ ਬੂੰਦ ਚਿਤੰਤਰਿ ਸਨਮੁਖ ਸਿੰਧ ਸੋਭ ਨਹੀ ਪਾਵੈ ।
jau garabai bahu boond chitantar sanamukh sindh sobh nahee paavai |If a drop of water feels proud of its greatness in its mind, it does not earn a good name or praise before the vast ocean.
ਜਉ ਬਹੁ ਉਡੈ ਖਗਧਾਰ ਮਹਾਬਲ ਪੇਖ ਅਕਾਸ ਰਿਦੈ ਸੁਕਚਾਵੈ ।
jau bahu uddai khagadhaar mahaabal pekh akaas ridai sukachaavai |If a bird flies high and far putting much effort, he is sure to feel ashamed of its effort seeing the infinitely vast expanse of the sky.
ਜਿਉ ਬ੍ਰਹਮੰਡ ਪ੍ਰਚੰਡ ਬਿਲੋਕਤ ਗੂਲਰ ਜੰਤ ਉਡੰਤ ਲਜਾਵੈ ।
jiau brahamandd prachandd bilokat goolar jant uddant lajaavai |Just as the fruit of a kind of fig tree (cotton boll in full bloom) sees the vast expense of the Universe after coming out of the fruit, he feels shy of his insignificant existence.
ਤੂੰ ਕਰਤਾ ਹਮ ਕੀਏ ਤਿਹਾਰੇ ਜੀ ਤੋ ਪਹਿ ਬੋਲਨ ਕਿਉ ਬਨਿ ਆਵੈ ।੫੨੭।
toon karataa ham kee tihaare jee to peh bolan kiau ban aavai |527|Similarly O True Guru, You are an epitome of the all doing Lord and we are insignificant creation. How can we speak before you? (527)
