Kabit Savaiye Bhai Gurdas Ji

Page - 537


ਜੈਸੇ ਜਲ ਧੋਏ ਬਿਨੁ ਅੰਬਰ ਮਲੀਨ ਹੋਤ ਬਿਨੁ ਤੇਲ ਮੇਲੇ ਜੈਸੇ ਕੇਸ ਹੂੰ ਭਇਆਨ ਹੈ ।
jaise jal dhoe bin anbar maleen hot bin tel mele jaise kes hoon bheaan hai |

Just as a cloth not washed with water remains dirty; and the hair remains disheveled and entangled without application of oil;

ਜੈਸੇ ਬਿਨੁ ਮਾਂਜੇ ਦਰਪਨ ਜੋਤਿ ਹੀਨ ਹੋਤ ਬਰਖਾ ਬਿਹੂੰਨ ਜੈਸੇ ਖੇਤ ਮੈ ਨ ਧਾਨ ਹੈ ।
jaise bin maanje darapan jot heen hot barakhaa bihoon jaise khet mai na dhaan hai |

Just as a glass not cleaned cannot let the light come through and just as no crop grows in a field without rain,

ਜੈਸੇ ਬਿਨੁ ਦੀਪਕੁ ਭਵਨ ਅੰਧਕਾਰ ਹੋਤ ਲੋਨੇ ਘ੍ਰਿਤਿ ਬਿਨੁ ਜੈਸੇ ਭੋਜਨ ਸਮਾਨ ਹੈ ।
jaise bin deepak bhavan andhakaar hot lone ghrit bin jaise bhojan samaan hai |

Just as a house remains in darkness without a lamp and just as food tastes insipid without salt and ghee,

ਤੈਸੇ ਬਿਨੁ ਸਾਧਸੰਗਤਿ ਜਨਮ ਮਰਨ ਦੁਖ ਮਿਟਤ ਨ ਭੈ ਭਰਮ ਬਿਨੁ ਗੁਰ ਗਿਆਨ ਹੈ ।੫੩੭।
taise bin saadhasangat janam maran dukh mittat na bhai bharam bin gur giaan hai |537|

Similarly without the company of saintly souls and devotees of the True Guru, the distress of repeated births and death cannot be wiped out. Nor can worldly fears and suspicions be destroyed without practicing on the sermon of the True Guru. (537)
