ਪਉੜੀ ੩

paurree 3

ਆਪਿ ਨ ਵੰਞੈ ਸਾਹੁਰੇ ਸਿਖ ਲੋਕ ਸੁਣਾਵੈ ।

aap na vanyai saahure sikh lok sunaavai |

The Guru prevaricator is similar to a girl who herself goes not to the father-in law's house and gives precepts to others.

ਕੰਤ ਨ ਪੁਛੈ ਵਾਤੜੀ ਸੁਹਾਗੁ ਗਣਾਵੈ ।

kant na puchhai vaatarree suhaag ganaavai |

Her husband never cares for her and she sings paeans of her happy married life.

ਚੂਹਾ ਖਡ ਨ ਮਾਵਈ ਲਕਿ ਛਜੁ ਵਲਾਵੈ ।

choohaa khadd na maavee lak chhaj valaavai |

It is such as the rat itself cannot enter the hole but roams tied winnowing tray to its waist.

ਮੰਤੁ ਨ ਹੋਇ ਅਠੂਹਿਆਂ ਹਥੁ ਸਪੀਂ ਪਾਵੈ ।

mant na hoe atthoohiaan hath sapeen paavai |

It is such a person as not knowing even the mantra of a centipede lays his hand on a snake.

ਸਰੁ ਸੰਨ੍ਹੈ ਆਗਾਸ ਨੋ ਫਿਰਿ ਮਥੈ ਆਵੈ ।

sar sanhai aagaas no fir mathai aavai |

The person who facing towards sky shoots the arrow receives the arrow on his own face.

ਦੁਹੀ ਸਰਾਈਂ ਜਰਦ ਰੂ ਬੇਮੁਖ ਪਛੁਤਾਵੈ ।੩।

duhee saraaeen jarad roo bemukh pachhutaavai |3|

The apostate is yellow faced, frightened in both the worlds and repents.
