ਪਉੜੀ ੧੯

paurree 19

ਘੁਘੂ ਚਾਮਚਿੜਕ ਨੋ ਦੇਹੁਂ ਨ ਸੁਝੈ ਚਾਨਣ ਹੋਂਦੇ ।

ghughoo chaamachirrak no dehun na sujhai chaanan honde |

Nothing can be seen by bat and owl in the day light.

ਰਾਤਿ ਅਨ੍ਹੇਰੀ ਦੇਖਦੇ ਬੋਲੁ ਕੁਬੋਲ ਅਬੋਲ ਖਲੋਂਦੇ ।

raat anheree dekhade bol kubol abol khalonde |

They see only in the dark night. They keep silent but as and when they speak their sound is evil.

ਮਨਮੁਖ ਅੰਨ੍ਹੇ ਰਾਤਿ ਦਿਹੁਂ ਸੁਰਤਿ ਵਿਹੂਣੇ ਚਕੀ ਝੋਂਦੇ ।

manamukh anhe raat dihun surat vihoone chakee jhonde |

Manmukhs also remain blind day and night and being devoid of consciousness go on operating the quern of discord.

ਅਉਗੁਣ ਚੁਣਿ ਚੁਣਿ ਛਡਿ ਗੁਣ ਪਰਹਰਿ ਹੀਰੇ ਫਟਕ ਪਰੋਂਦੇ ।

aaugun chun chun chhadd gun parahar heere fattak paronde |

They pick up demerits and leave out merits; they reject the diamond and prepare the string of stones.

ਨਾਉ ਸੁਜਾਖੇ ਅੰਨ੍ਹਿਆਂ ਮਾਇਆ ਮਦ ਮਤਵਾਲੇ ਰੋਂਦੇ ।

naau sujaakhe anhiaan maaeaa mad matavaale ronde |

These blind ones are called sujOns, the learned and intelligent ones. Inebrigated with the pride of their wealth they wail and weep.

ਕਾਮ ਕਰੋਧ ਵਿਰੋਧ ਵਿਚਿ ਚਾਰੇ ਪਲੇ ਭਰਿ ਭਰਿ ਧੋਂਦੇ ।

kaam karodh virodh vich chaare pale bhar bhar dhonde |

Engrossed in lust, anger and antagonism they wash the four corners of their stained sheet.

ਪਥਰ ਪਾਪ ਨ ਛੁਟਹਿ ਢੋਂਦੇ ।੧੯।

pathar paap na chhutteh dtonde |19|

They never get liberated from carrying the load of their stony sins.
