11 beimaani di* takkrri to yahovah nu ghin hai,

par sahi vatte* to oh khush hunda hai.+

 2 jehrra gustakhi karda hai, os nu beizzati sehni pavegi,+

par nimar* insaan budh to kamm lainde han.+

 3 nek lokaa di vafadari* ohna di agvayi kardi hai,+

par dhokhebaza diya chaala ohna nu naash kar dengiya.+

 4 krodh de din dhan-daulat* da koi faida nahi hovega,+

par neki maut to bachaa lavegi.+

 5 nirdosh de sahi kamm os da raah sidha karde han,

par dusht apni dushtata karke dig javega.+

 6 nek lokaa di neki ohna nu bachaa lavegi,+

par dhokhebaz apnia hi lalsava karke fas jaange.+

 7 jado dusht aadmi marda hai, os di umeed mit jandi hai;

atey apni takat te laiya os diya aasa vi khatam ho jandiya han.+

 8 dharmi nu bipta vicho chhudaya janda hai

atey dusht os di jagah fas janda hai.+

 9 dharam-tyaagi insaan* apne muh naal apne guandi nu tabah karda hai,

par giaan raahi dharmiya nu bachaya janda hai.+

10 dharmi di bhalayi karke sheher khushiya manaunda hai

atey dusht da naash hon te khushi naal jaikare laye jande han.+

11 nek lokaa diya aseesa karke sheher buland hunda hai,+

par dushta da muh is nu dheh-dheri kar dinda hai.+

12 jis nu akal di ghaat* hai, oh apne guandi naal ghirna karda hai,

par soojh-boojh vala aadmi chupp rehnda hai.+

13 doojya nu badnam karan vala insaan bhet zahar karda firda hai,+

par bharoseyog insaan* raaz nu raaz hi rakhda hai.*

14 sahi sedh* na milan te lok dig painde han,

par bahut sare salahkara karke safalta* mildi hai.+

15 jehrra kise ajnabi de karze di zimmevari chukkda hai,* oh zaroor dukh bhogega,+

par jehrra lain-den de mamle vich hath mila ke vaada karan to pare rehnda hai,* oh bachya rahega.

16 manbhaundi* aurat di tareef hundi hai,+

par zalam aadmi dhan-daulat hathiaaunde han.

17 dyaalu aadmi* khud nu faida pahunchaunda hai,*+

par zalam aadmi khud te museebat* liaaunda hai.+

18 dusht di kamayi khokhli hundi hai,+

par jehrra neki beejda hai, os nu sacha fal milda hai.+

19 neki de pakh vich kharha rehen vala zindagi de raah te hai,+

par burayi da pichha karan vala maut de raah te hai.

20 tedhe mann valya to yahovah nu ghin hai,+

par bedaag zindagi jeeun valya to oh khush hunda hai.+

21 is gall da bharosa rakho: “bura insaan saza to nahi bachega,+

par dharmi de bache chhutkara paunge.

22 jive soor de nakk vich sone di nath,

ove oh sohni aurat hai jo akal di gall nahi sundi.

23 dharmi di ichha da natija changa hunda hai,+

par dusht di umeed da natija krodh hunda hai.

24 jo khulle dil naal dinda hai,* os nu hor milda hai;+

par jo unna vi nahi dinda jinna dena chaheeda hai, os de pale kakh nahi rehnda.+

25 khulle dil vala vadhe-fullega*+

atey jo doojya nu taro-taza karda hai,* oh khud vi taro-taza hovega.+

26 lok os nu saraap denge jo anaaj nu apne kol hi sambhi rakhda hai,

par is nu vechan vale nu oh aseesa denge.

27 jehrra bhala karan de mauke bhalda hai, oh meher bhalda hai,+

par jehrra burayi karan di taak vich rehnda hai, ohi burayi os utte aa pavegi.+

28 apni dhan-daulat te bharosa rakhan vala dig pavega,+

par dharmi pattya vang leh-lahaunge.+

29 apne gharane te museebat* liaaun vale nu virse vich hava hi milegi+

atey moorkh insaan budhiman da naukar banega.

30 dharmi da fal jeevan da drakht hai+

atey dila nu moh lain vala budhiman hai.+

31 je dharti te dharmi nu fal bhugtna painda hai,

taa bure atey paapi insaan nu kinna ziada bhugtna pavega!”+
