ਮਃ ੩ ॥

mahalaa 3 |

Third Mehl:

ਮੈ ਜਾਨਿਆ ਵਡ ਹੰਸੁ ਹੈ ਤਾ ਮੈ ਕੀਆ ਸੰਗੁ ॥

mai jaaniaa vadd hans hai taa mai keea sang |

I thought that he was a great swan, so I associated with him.

ਜੇ ਜਾਣਾ ਬਗੁ ਬਪੁੜਾ ਤ ਜਨਮਿ ਨ ਦੇਦੀ ਅੰਗੁ ॥੨॥

je jaanaa bag bapurraa ta janam na dedee ang |2|

If I had known that he was only a wretched heron from birth, I would not have touched him. ||2||
