ਮੈ ਜਾਣਿਆ ਵਡ ਹੰਸੁ ਹੈ ਤਾਂ ਮੈ ਕੀਤਾ ਸੰਗੁ ॥

mai jaaniaa vadd hans hai taan mai keetaa sang |

I knew him as a great swan, so I associated with him.

ਜੇ ਜਾਣਾ ਬਗੁ ਬਪੁੜਾ ਜਨਮਿ ਨ ਭੇੜੀ ਅੰਗੁ ॥੧੨੩॥

je jaanaa bag bapurraa janam na bherree ang |123|

If I had known that he was a only wretched crane, I would never in my life have crossed paths with him. ||123||
