Expectation from a religious place

ijau imrjwdw ihMdUAW gaU mwsu AKwju ]

jiu mirayaadaa hindooaa gaoo maasu akhaaju.

As the cow meat is forbidden in Hindu code of conduct;

muslmwxw sUArhu saugMd ivAwju ]

mousalamaanaan sooarahu saougand viaaju.

The Musalmans pledge against the pork and the interest on money;

shurw Gir jwvweIAY pwxI md rwju ]

sahuraa ghari javaaeeai paanee mudaraaju.

For father-in-law, even the water of the house of son-in-law is prohibited like the wine;

shw n KweI cUhVw mwieAw muhqwju ]

sahaa n khaaee chooharhaa maaiaa muhataaju.

The scanvenger eats not rabbit, though he be hard of money;

ijau imTY mKI mrY iqsu hoie Akwju ]

jiu mitdai makhee marai tisu hoi akaaju.

As the dead fly makes the taste of sweet bad and the sweet getting poisonous becomes useless,

iqau Drmswl dI Jwk hY ivhu KMfUpwju ]12]

tiu dharamasaal dee jhaak hai vihu khandoo paaju ||12||

Similarly to set one's eye upon the earning of the religious place is like eating of sugar coated poison.
