ਪਵਨ ਗਵਨ ਜੈਸੇ ਗੁਡੀਆ ਉਡਤ ਰਹੈ ਪਵਨ ਰਹਤ ਗੁਡੀ ਉਡਿ ਨ ਸਕਤ ਹੈ ।
pavan gavan jaise guddeea uddat rahai pavan rahat guddee udd na sakat hai |As a kite keeps aloft in the sky only if there is breeze blowing, and in the absence of breeze it drops down on the ground;
ਡੋਰੀ ਕੀ ਮਰੋਰਿ ਜੈਸੇ ਲਟੂਆ ਫਿਰਤ ਰਹੈ ਤਾਉ ਹਾਉ ਮਿਟੈ ਗਿਰਿ ਪਰੈ ਹੁਇ ਥਕਤ ਹੈ ।
ddoree kee maror jaise lattooaa firat rahai taau haau mittai gir parai hue thakat hai |As a top keeps revolving on its axis/spindle as long as the torque provided to it by the thread lasts, where after it drops dead;
ਕੰਚਨ ਅਸੁਧ ਜਿਉ ਕੁਠਾਰੀ ਠਹਰਾਤ ਨਹੀ ਸੁਧ ਭਏ ਨਿਹਚਲ ਛਬਿ ਕੈ ਛਕਤ ਹੈ ।
kanchan asudh jiau kutthaaree tthaharaat nahee sudh bhe nihachal chhab kai chhakat hai |As a base gold cannot remain stable in a crucible and on becoming pure, rests and acquire glitter;
ਦੁਰਮਤਿ ਦੁਬਿਧਾ ਭ੍ਰਮਤ ਚਤੁਰ ਕੁੰਟ ਗੁਰਮਤਿ ਏਕ ਟੇਕ ਮੋਨਿ ਨ ਬਕਤ ਹੈ ।੯੫।
duramat dubidhaa bhramat chatur kuntt guramat ek ttek mon na bakat hai |95|So does a person roams about in all the four directions due to duality and base intelligence. But once he takes the refuge of Guru's wisdom, he acquires peace and becomes engrossed within. (95)
