ਪਉੜੀ ੧੫

paurree 15

ਅਉਚਰੁ ਝਾਕ ਭੰਡਾਰ ਦੀ ਚੁਖੁ ਲਗੈ ਚਖੀ ।

aauchar jhaak bhanddaar dee chukh lagai chakhee |

To crave for the material of store (for the Sikhs) is improper.

ਹੋਇ ਦੁਕੁਧਾ ਨਿਕਲੈ ਭੋਜਨੁ ਮਿਲਿ ਮਖੀ ।

hoe dukudhaa nikalai bhojan mil makhee |

But those who have such a desire, have to return the material, as the fly gone inside with food is vomited out by the body.

ਰਾਤਿ ਸੁਖਾਲਾ ਕਿਉ ਸਵੈ ਤਿਣੁ ਅੰਦਰਿ ਅਖੀ ।

raat sukhaalaa kiau savai tin andar akhee |

How could he sleep peacefully who has the grass blade in his eye.

ਕਖਾ ਦਬੀ ਅਗਿ ਜਿਉ ਓਹੁ ਰਹੈ ਨ ਰਖੀ ।

kakhaa dabee ag jiau ohu rahai na rakhee |

As the fire cannot be kept pressed under the dry grass, similarly,

ਝਾਕ ਝਕਾਈਐ ਝਾਕਵਾਲੁ ਕਰਿ ਭਖ ਅਭਖੀ ।

jhaak jhakaaeeai jhaakavaal kar bhakh abhakhee |

The cravings of the caving person cannot be controlled and for him the inedible becomes edible.

ਗੁਰ ਪਰਸਾਦੀ ਉਬਰੇ ਗੁਰ ਸਿਖਾ ਲਖੀ ।੧੫।

gur parasaadee ubare gur sikhaa lakhee |15|

The Sikhs of the Guru are millions but only those who attain the grace of the Lord get across the world ocean).
