ਭਲੌ ਵਹੈ ਜੋ ਭੋਗ ਕਮਾਵੈ ॥

bhalau vahai jo bhog kamaavai |

‘One who indulges in lovemaking is favoured,

ਭਾਤਿ ਭਾਤਿ ਸੋ ਦਰਬੁ ਲੁਟਾਵੈ ॥

bhaat bhaat so darab luttaavai |

‘And he fritters away wealth in various forms.

ਨਿਜੁ ਤ੍ਰਿਯ ਸਾਥ ਨ ਨੇਹ ਲਗੈਯੇ ॥

nij triy saath na neh lagaiye |

‘One should not indulge in the one whom one cannot own,

ਜੋ ਜਿਤ ਜਗ ਆਪਨ ਨ ਕਹੈਯੈ ॥੨੦॥

jo jit jag aapan na kahaiyai |20|

‘And unless one has won over, one should not declare her as his own.(20)
