The eight board spinningwheel moves between two upright posts.

due sir dhar duhu khundt vich sir giradaan firai lakh feroo |

Both ends of its axle are thrust in the holes in the middle of two post and on the force of its neck the wheel is turned innumerable times.

ਬਾਇੜੁ ਪਾਇ ਪਲੇਟੀਐ ਮਾਲ੍ਹ ਵਟਾਇ ਪਾਇਆ ਘਟ ਘੇਰੂ ।

The two sides are secured by a fastening cord and a string belt encircles the wheel and the spindle.

ਦੁਹੁ ਚਰਮਖ ਵਿਚਿ ਤ੍ਰਕੁਲਾ ਕਤਨਿ ਕੁੜੀਆਂ ਚਿੜੀਆਂ ਹੇਰੂ ।

duhu charamakh vich trakulaa katan kurreean chirreean heroo |

Two pieces of leather hold the spindle around which the girls spin sitting in groups.

orr nibaahoo naa theeai kachaa rang rangaaeaa geroo |

Ochre colour which is temporary one, does not give company up to the last i.e. it fades away after sometime.

The double-minded person (also) is like a moving shadow which does not stick to one place
