ਜੈਸੇ ਤਉ ਕਹੈ ਮੰਜਾਰ ਕਰਉ ਨ ਅਹਾਰ ਮਾਸ ਮੂਸਾ ਦੇਖਿ ਪਾਛੈ ਦਉਰੇ ਧੀਰ ਨ ਧਰਤ ਹੈ ।
jaise tau kahai manjaar krau na ahaar maas moosaa dekh paachhai daure dheer na dharat hai |Just as a tom cat says that he has stopped eating meat but as soon as he sees a mouse runs after him (cannot control his desire to eat him up).
ਜੈਸੇ ਕਊਆ ਰੀਸ ਕੈ ਮਰਾਲ ਸਭਾ ਜਾਇ ਬੈਠੇ ਛਾਡਿ ਮੁਕਤਾਹਲ ਦੁਰਗੰਧ ਸਿਮਰਤ ਹੈ ।
jaise kaooaa rees kai maraal sabhaa jaae baitthe chhaadd mukataahal duragandh simarat hai |Just as a crow goes and sit among swans but leaving aside pearls which is the food of swans, he always desires to eat filth and dross.
ਜੈਸੇ ਮੋਨਿ ਗਹਿ ਸਿਆਰ ਕਰਤ ਅਨੇਕ ਜਤਨ ਸੁਨਤ ਸਿਆਰ ਭਾਖਿਆ ਰਹਿਓ ਨ ਪਰਤ ਹੈ ।
jaise mon geh siaar karat anek jatan sunat siaar bhaakhiaa rahio na parat hai |Just as a jackal may try myriad times to keep quiet but listening to other jackals just by the force of habit, cannot help howling.
ਤੈਸੇ ਪਰ ਤਨ ਪਰ ਧਨ ਦੂਖ ਨ ਤ੍ਰਿਦੋਖ ਮਨ ਕਹਤ ਕੈ ਛਾਡਿਓ ਚਾਹੈ ਟੇਵ ਨ ਟਰਤ ਹੈ ।੫੩੯।
taise par tan par dhan dookh na tridokh man kahat kai chhaaddio chaahai ttev na ttarat hai |539|Similarly the three vices of ogling at other's wife, keeping an eye on other's wealth and slander are inhabiting in my mind like a chronic disease. Even if someone tells me to leave them, this bad habit cannot go away.
