kahauta

14 budhiman aurat apna ghar banaundi hai,+

par moorkh is nu apne hi hathi dhaah dindi hai.

 2 khare raah te chalan vala yahovah da dar rakhda hai,

par tedhi chaal chalan vala os nu tuchh samajhda hai.

 3 moorkh de muh vich hankaar di chhiti hai,

par budhimana de bull ohna di raakhi karange.

 4 jithe pashu na hon, uthe khurli saaf-suthri hundi hai,

par bald di takat sadka bahuti paidavar hundi hai.

 5 vafadar gavah jhooth nahi bolda,

par jhootha gavah gall-gall te jhooth bolda hai.+

 6 makhaulia budh di bhaal karda hai, par os nu mildi nahi,

par samajhdar insaan nu giaan saukhya hi mil janda hai.+

 7 moorkh aadmi to door hi reh

kyoki tainu os de bulla to giaan nahi milega.+

 8 budh karke hushyaar insaan samajh janda hai ki oh kidhar ja reha hai,

par moorkh apni hi moorkhta to dhokha kha jande han.*+

 9 moorkh apradh nu* hase vich uda dinde han,+

par nek lok sula karan layi tyaar rehnde han.*

10 dil apna dukh* aap hi jaanda hai

atey koi hor is di khushi nu samajh nahi sakda.

11 dushta da ghar naash keeta javega,+

par nek insaana da tambu vadda hunda javega.

12 ik ajeha raah hai jo aadmi nu sahi laggda hai,+

par akheer vich eh maut val lai janda hai.+

13 hassan vale da dil shayad dukhi hove

atey khushi shayad gam vich badal jave.

14 jis da dil bhatakda rehnda hai, oh apne kamma da fal bhogega,+

par change insaan nu apne kamma da inaam milega.+

15 bhola* har gall te yakeen kar lainda hai,

par hushyaar insaan har kadam soch-samajh ke chukkda hai.+

16 budhiman chukanna hunda hai te burayi to muh morr lainda hai,

par moorkh laparvah hunda* hai atey apne te haddo vadh bharosa rakhda hai.

17 jehrra chheti gusse ho janda, oh moorkhtayi karda hai,+

par jehrra soch ke kamm karda,* os naal nafrat keeti jandi hai.

18 bholya* nu virse vich moorkhta milegi,

par hushyaara nu giaan da mukat pehnaya janda hai.+

19 bure lokaa nu change lokaa agge jhukna pavega

atey dusht dharmiya de dara agge sir nivaunge.

20 gareeb nu taa os de guandi vi nafrat karde han,+

par ameer de dost dher sare hunde han.+

21 jehrra apne guandi nu tuchh samajhda hai, oh paap karda hai,

par jehrra gareeb te taras khanda hai, oh khush rehnda hai.+

par jinha ne bhala karan di thani hoi hai,

ohna naal attal pyaar te vafadari nibhayi javegi.+

23 har tarha di sakht mehnat karan da faida hunda hai,

par sirf galla maaran naal tangi aa gherdi hai.+

24 budhimana da taaj ohna di dhan-daulat hai,

par moorkh di moorkhta vadhdi jandi hai.+

25 sacha gavah zindagiya bachaunda hai,

par dhokhebaz gall-gall te jhooth bolda hai.

26 yahovah da dar mannan vala os te pakka bharosa rakhda hai+

atey eh os de bachya layi panah hovega.+

27 yahovah da dar zindagi da chashma hai

jo ik insaan nu maut de fandya to bachaunda hai.

28 vaddi parja ik raje di shaan hundi hai,+

par parja to bina haakam barbaad ho janda hai.

29 jehrra chheti krodh nahi karda, oh soojh-boojh naal bharpoor hai,+

par jehrra jhatt garam ho janda hai, oh apni moorkhtayi dikha dinda hai.+

30 shant mann sareer da jeeun hai,*

par irkha haddiya nu gaal dindi hai.+

31 jehrra gareeb nu thaggda hai, oh os de sirjanhar nu beizzat karda hai,+

par gareeb te taras khaan vala parmeshwar di mehma karda hai.+

32 dusht apni hi burayi karke barbaad ho javega,

par dharmi khara banya rehen karke panah pavega.+

33 samajhdar insaan de dil vich budh chupp-chaap vaas kardi hai,+

par eh moorkha darmyaan apne aap nu pragat kardi rehndi hai.

34 sahi kamma karke kaum buland hundi hai,+

par paap lokaa nu badnam karda hai.

35 raja samajhdari to kamm lain vale sevak to khush hunda hai,+

par sharamnak kamm karan vale te os da gussa bharrkda hai.+
