ਏਕ ਲਹੌਰ ਸੁਨਾਰੋ ਰਹੈ ॥

ek lahauar sunaaro rahai |

In the city of Lahore, there lived a goldsmith,

ਅਤਿ ਤਸਕਰ ਤਾ ਕੋ ਜਗ ਕਹੈ ॥

at tasakar taa ko jag kahai |

Whom people used to know as a big swindler.

ਸਾਹੁ ਤ੍ਰਿਯਾ ਤਾ ਕੋ ਸੁਨਿ ਪਾਯੋ ॥

saahu triyaa taa ko sun paayo |

When the Shah’s wife heard about him,

ਘਾਟ ਗੜਨ ਹਿਤ ਤਾਹਿ ਬੁਲਾਯੋ ॥੧॥

ghaatt garran hit taeh bulaayo |1|

She called him to get the ornaments made.(1)
