ਫਰੀਦਾ ਜਿ ਦਿਹਿ ਨਾਲਾ ਕਪਿਆ ਜੇ ਗਲੁ ਕਪਹਿ ਚੁਖ ॥

fareedaa ji dihi naalaa kapiaa je gal kapeh chukh |

Fareed, if on that day when my umbilical cord was cut, my throat had been cut instead,

ਪਵਨਿ ਨ ਇਤੀ ਮਾਮਲੇ ਸਹਾਂ ਨ ਇਤੀ ਦੁਖ ॥੭੬॥

pavan na itee maamale sahaan na itee dukh |76|

I would not have fallen into so many troubles, or undergone so many hardships. ||76||
