ਜੈਸੇ ਅਸ੍ਵਨੀ ਸੁਤਹ ਛਾਡਿ ਅੰਧਕਾਰਿ ਮਧ ਜਾਤਿ ਪੁਨ ਆਵਤ ਹੈ ਸੁਨਤ ਸਨੇਹ ਕੈ ।
jaise asvanee sutah chhaadd andhakaar madh jaat pun aavat hai sunat saneh kai |

Just as a mare leaves the house with her master to help him do his work leaving her colt back home and returns home remembering its young one.

ਜੈਸੇ ਨਿੰਦ੍ਰਾਵੰਤ ਸੁਪਨੰਤਰ ਦਿਸੰਤਰ ਮੈ ਬੋਲਤ ਘਟੰਤਰ ਚੈਤੰਨ ਗਤਿ ਗੇਹ ਕੈ ।
jaise nindraavant supanantar disantar mai bolat ghattantar chaitan gat geh kai |

Just as a sleeping person visits many cities and countries in his dream, mumbles in his throat, but once out of his sleep performs his household duties attentively.

ਜੈਸੇ ਤਉ ਪਰੇਵਾ ਤ੍ਰਿਯਾ ਤ੍ਯਾਗ ਹੁਇ ਅਕਾਸਚਾਰੀ ਦੇਖਿ ਪਰਕਰ ਗਿਰੈ ਤਨ ਬੂੰਦ ਮੇਹ ਕੈ ।
jaise tau parevaa triyaa tayaag hue akaasachaaree dekh parakar girai tan boond meh kai |

Just as a he-pigeon leaves his mate and flies in the sky but seeing his mate, he comes down towards her at such a fast pace as a drop of rain falls from the sky,

ਤੈਸੇ ਮਨ ਬਚ ਕ੍ਰਮ ਭਗਤ ਜਗਤ ਬਿਖੈ ਦੇਖ ਕੈ ਸਨੇਹੀ ਹੋਤ ਬਿਸਨ ਬਿਦੇਹ ਕੈ ।੬੧੬।
taise man bach kram bhagat jagat bikhai dekh kai sanehee hot bisan bideh kai |616|

Similarly a devotee of the Lord lives in this world and his family but when he sees his beloved Satsangis, he becomes ecstatic of mind, words and deeds. (He becomes absorbed in the loving state that the Lord blesses him with through Naam).
