Dohira

ਚੰਦਨ ਕੀ ਤਨ ਕੰਚੁਕੀ ਕਾਮਾ ਕਸੀ ਬਨਾਇ ॥

chandan kee tan kanchukee kaamaa kasee banaae |

Very tightly, Kama (Kaamkandla) had worn a sandalwood-scented bodice,

ਅੰਗਿਯਾ ਹੀ ਸਭ ਕੋ ਲਖੈ ਚੰਦਨ ਲਖ︀ਯੋ ਨ ਜਾਇ ॥੧੧॥

angiyaa hee sabh ko lakhai chandan lakhayo na jaae |11|

The bodice was visible but not the sandalwood.(11)

ਚੰਦਨ ਕੀ ਲੈ ਬਾਸਨਾ ਭਵਰ ਬਹਿਠ︀ਯੋ ਆਇ ॥

chandan kee lai baasanaa bhavar bahitthayo aae |

Lured by the aroma of sandalwood, a black-bee came and sat over it.

ਸੋ ਤਿਨ ਕੁਚ ਕੀ ਬਾਯੁ ਤੇ ਦੀਨੌ ਤਾਹਿ ਉਠਾਇ ॥੧੨॥

so tin kuch kee baay te deenau taeh utthaae |12|

She jerked her bodice and made the bee fly away.(l2)
