ਜੈਸੇ ਦੀਪ ਦੀਪਤ ਪਤੰਗ ਲੋਟ ਪੋਤ ਹੋਤ ਕਬਹੂੰ ਕੈ ਜ੍ਵਾਰਾ ਮੈ ਪਰਤ ਜਰ ਜਾਇ ਹੈ ।
jaise deep deepat patang lott pot hot kabahoon kai jvaaraa mai parat jar jaae hai |Just as a moth is enamored by the flame of a lamp, circles around it, and one day falls in the flame and burns himself.
ਜੈਸੇ ਖਗ ਦਿਨਪ੍ਰਤਿ ਚੋਗ ਚੁਗਿ ਆਵੈ ਉਡਿ ਕਾਹੂ ਦਿਨ ਫਾਸੀ ਫਾਸੈ ਬਹੁਰ੍ਯੋ ਨ ਆਇ ਹੈ ।
jaise khag dinaprat chog chug aavai udd kaahoo din faasee faasai bahurayo na aae hai |Just as a bird picks grains and worms the whole day and return to his nest as the sun sets, but some day, it is caught in the net of a bird catcher and does not return to its nest.
ਜੈਸੇ ਅਲ ਕਮਲ ਕਮਲ ਪ੍ਰਤਿ ਖੋਜੈ ਨਿਤ ਕਬਹੂੰ ਕਮਲ ਦਲ ਸੰਪਟ ਸਮਾਇ ਹੈ ।
jaise al kamal kamal prat khojai nit kabahoon kamal dal sanpatt samaae hai |Just as a black bee keep searching and smelling elixir from various lotus flowers, but one day it is caught in the boxlike flower.
ਤੈਸੇ ਗੁਰਬਾਨੀ ਅਵਗਾਹਨ ਕਰਤ ਚਿਤ ਕਬਹੂੰ ਮਗਨ ਹ੍ਵੈ ਸਬਦ ਉਰਝਾਇ ਹੈ ।੫੯੦।
taise gurabaanee avagaahan karat chit kabahoon magan hvai sabad urajhaae hai |590|Similarly, a seeker perpetually dives in Gurbani, but some day he becomes so engrossed in Gurbani that he is absorbed in Guru's words. (590)
