ਜੈਸੇ ਜਨਮਤ ਕੰਨ੍ਯਾ ਦੀਜੀਐ ਦਹੇਜ ਘਨੋ ਤਾ ਕੇ ਸੁਤ ਆਗੈ ਬ੍ਯਾਹੇ ਬਹੁ ਪੁਨ ਲੀਜੀਐ ।
jaise janamat kanayaa deejeeai dahej ghano taa ke sut aagai bayaahe bahu pun leejeeai |

Just as in the marriage of daughter born in a house, much dowry is given. And when her sons are married, much dowry is received from their in-laws house;

ਜੈਸੇ ਦਾਮ ਲਾਈਅਤ ਪ੍ਰਥਮ ਬਨਜ ਬਿਖੈ ਪਾਛੈ ਲਾਭ ਹੋਤ ਮਨ ਸਕੁਚ ਨ ਕੀਜੀਐ ।
jaise daam laaeeat pratham banaj bikhai paachhai laabh hot man sakuch na keejeeai |

Just as one spends money from one's pocket at the time of commencement of a business and then to earn profit, one should not hesitate to ask enhanced price;

ਜੈਸੇ ਗਊ ਸੇਵਾ ਕੈ ਸਹੇਤ ਪ੍ਰਤਿਪਾਲੀਅਤ ਸਕਲ ਅਖਾਦ ਵਾ ਕੋ ਦੂਧ ਦੁਹਿ ਪੀਜੀਐ ।
jaise gaoo sevaa kai sahet pratipaaleeat sakal akhaad vaa ko doodh duhi peejeeai |

Just as a cow is reared with love and care, she is served fodder and other items not eaten by human beings, and she yields milk that is drunk.

ਤੈਸੇ ਤਨ ਮਨ ਧਨ ਅਰਪ ਸਰਨ ਗੁਰ ਦੀਖ੍ਯਾ ਦਾਨ ਲੈ ਅਮਰ ਸਦ ਸਦ ਜੀਜੀਐ ।੫੮੪।
taise tan man dhan arap saran gur deekhayaa daan lai amar sad sad jeejeeai |584|

Similarly, falling in the refuge of the True Guru, one surrenders all (body, mind and wealth) to Him. Then obtaining the incantation of Naam from the True Guru, one achieves emancipation and is freed from repeated deaths and births. (584)
