ਪਉੜੀ ੧੦

paurree 10

ਚੋਰੁ ਗਇਆ ਘਰਿ ਸਾਹ ਦੈ ਘਰ ਅੰਦਰਿ ਵੜਿਆ ।

chor geaa ghar saah dai ghar andar varriaa |

A thief entered the house of a rich person.

ਕੁਛਾ ਕੂਣੈ ਭਾਲਦਾ ਚਉਬਾਰੇ ਚੜ੍ਹਿਆ ।

kuchhaa koonai bhaaladaa chaubaare charrhiaa |

Carefully watching the four corners he came to the upper room.

ਸੁਇਨਾ ਰੁਪਾ ਪੰਡ ਬੰਨ੍ਹਿ ਅਗਲਾਈ ਅੜਿਆ ।

sueinaa rupaa pandd banh agalaaee arriaa |

He gathered the money and gold and tied them in a bundle; but still his greed delayed him.

ਲੋਭ ਲਹਰਿ ਹਲਕਾਇਆ ਲੂਣ ਹਾਂਡਾ ਫੜਿਆ ।

lobh lehar halakaaeaa loon haanddaa farriaa |

Getting impatient in greed he caught hold of a salt-pot.

ਚੁਖਕੁ ਲੈ ਕੇ ਚਖਿਆ ਤਿਸੁ ਕਖੁ ਨ ਖੜਿਆ ।

chukhak lai ke chakhiaa tis kakh na kharriaa |

A bit of it he took out and tasted; he left every thing there and came, out.

ਲੂਣ ਹਰਾਮੀ ਗੁਨਹਗਾਰੁ ਧੜੁ ਧੰਮੜ ਧੜਿਆ ।੧੦।

loon haraamee gunahagaar dharr dhamarr dharriaa |10|

That thief also knew, that an ungrateful person is beaten like a drum (in the Lord's court).
