kanchan asudh jaisay bhramat koutthaaree bikhai , sudh bhaay bhramat n paavak pragaas hai |

As impure gold when heated in a crucible, keep on moving here and there but when purified becomes stable and glitters like fire.

jaisay kar kankan anayk mai pragat dhouni , aykai ayk tayk pouni dhouni ko binaas hai |

If many bangles are worn in one arm, they keep making noise by striking with each other but when melted and made into one become quiet and noiseless.

khudhiaa kai baalak bilalaat akulaat ata , asadan paan kari sahaji nivaas hai |

Just as a child cries when hungry but becomes quiet and peaceful after suckling milk from his mother's breasts.

Similarly a human mind engulfed in worldly attachments and love keeps on wandering all over. But by the sermons of the True Guru, he becomes stable and calm. (349)
