ਕੇਹਰਿ ਅਹਾਰ ਮਾਸ ਸੁਰਹੀ ਅਹਾਰ ਘਾਸ ਮਧੁਪ ਕਮਲ ਬਾਸ ਲੇਤ ਸੁਖ ਮਾਨ ਹੀ ।

kehar ahaar maas surahee ahaar ghaas madhup kamal baas let sukh maan hee |

Just as meat is the food of a lion, grass-that of a cow, while a bumble bee feels happy with the fragrance of a lotus flower. Just as a fish likes living in water, a child has support of milk for sustenance and cold breeze is considered friend of a snake.

ਮੀਨਹਿ ਨਿਵਾਸ ਨੀਰ ਬਾਲਕ ਅਧਾਰ ਖੀਰ ਸਰਪਹ ਸਖਾ ਸਮੀਰ ਜੀਵਨ ਕੈ ਜਾਨ ਹੀ ।

meeneh nivaas neer baalak adhaar kheer sarapah sakhaa sameer jeevan kai jaan hee |

Just a ruddy sheldrake loves the moon, a peacock is enamored by the black clouds while the rain-bird is always craving for the Swati drop.

ਚੰਦਹਿ ਚਾਹੈ ਚਕੋਰ ਘਨਹਰ ਘਟਾ ਮੋਰ ਚਾਤ੍ਰਿਕ ਬੂੰਦਨ ਸ੍ਵਾਂਤ ਧਰਤ ਧਿਆਨ ਹੀ ।

chandeh chaahai chakor ghanahar ghattaa mor chaatrik boondan svaant dharat dhiaan hee |

Just as a scholar indulges in discourse and exposition while a worldly person is involved in worldly affairs, just as the whole world is immersed in the love of mammon (maya),

ਪੰਡਿਤ ਬੇਦ ਬੀਚਾਰਿ ਲੋਕਨ ਮੈ ਲੋਕਾਚਾਰ ਮਾਯਾ ਮੋਹ ਮੈ ਸੰਸਾਰ ਗ੍ਯਾਨ ਗੁਰ ਗਿਆਨ ਹੀ ।੫੯੯।

panddit bed beechaar lokan mai lokaachaar maayaa moh mai sansaar gayaan gur giaan hee |599|

Similarly, a Guru-conscious and Guru aware person remains engrossed in the elixir-like name of the Lord blessed by the True Guru. (Practicing of Naam becomes then his life's support). (599)
