kahauta

 2 insaan nu apne sare raah sahi laggde han,+

par yahovah dila* nu janchda hai.+

 3 yahovah nu balidaana nalo ziada

ohna kamma to khushi mildi hai jo sahi te niya mutabak han.+

 4 ghamandi akkha te hankari dil oh deeva han

jo dusht nu paap de raah te lai janda hai.+

 5 mehnti diya yojnaava vakayi safal* banaundiya han,+

par kahli karan vale sare gareebi val vadhde jande han.+

 6 jhoothi jeebh naal haasal keeta khazana

gaaib ho jaan vali dhund hai, ik jaanleva fanda hai.*+

 7 dushta di hinsa ohna da safaya kar devegi+

kyoki oh niya mutabak chalan to inkaar karde han.

 8 doshi da raah vinga-tedha hai,

par bedaag aadmi da kamm sidha hai.+

 9 jhagrralu* patni naal ghar de andar rehen nalo

chhatt te ik khoonje vich vassna changa hai.+

10 dusht nu burayi karan di taangh rehndi hai;+

oh apne guandi te zara vi daya nahi karda.+

11 jado makhauliye nu saza ditti jandi hai, taa natajarbekar hor budhiman bann jande han

atey jado budhiman nu doonghi samajh mildi hai, taa oh giaan haasal karda hai.*+

12 dharmi parmeshwar dusht de ghar nu dhyaan naal dekhda hai;

oh dushta nu naash hon layi deg dinda hai.+

13 jehrra gareeb di pukar sunan to kann band kar lainda hai,

os di pukar vi nahi suni javegi, jad oh aap pukarega.+

14 gupt vich ditta tohfa gusse nu

atey luk-chhip ke ditti rishvat* krodh di agg nu thanda kar dindi hai.+

15 dharmi nu niya mutabak kamm karan naal khushi hundi hai,+

par burayi karan valya nu eh bhyaanak laggda hai.

16 jehrra aadmi doonghi samajh de raah to bhatak janda hai,

oh ohna naal basera karega jo maut de hatha vich bebass han.+

17 mauj-masti da premi kangal ho javega;+

jis nu dakhras te tel naal pyaar hai, oh ameer nahi hovega.

18 dharmi di rehayi di keemat dusht hai

atey nek insaan di tha dhokhebaz nu lejaya javega.+

19 jhagrralu* te chirrchirri patni naal rehen nalo

ujaad vich vassna changa hai.+

20 budhiman de ghar keemti khazana te tel hunda hai,+

par moorkh apna sabh kujh uda devega.*+

21 jehrra neki atey attal pyaar da pichha karda hai,

oh nek kahaega atey zindagi te mehma paega.+

22 budhiman aadmi takatvara de sheher te charhayi kar sakda hai*

atey jis takat te ohna nu bharosa hai, os nu mitaa sakda hai.+

23 apne muh atey jeebh te kaabu rakhan vala

khud nu museebat vich pain to bachaunda hai.+

24 jehrra beparvah ho ke apnia hadda paar karda hai,

oh gustakh, hankari te shekhibaz kahaunda hai.+

25 aalsi di lalsa os nu maar suttegi

kyoki os de hath kamm karan to inkaar karde han.+

26 oh sara din kujh-na-kujh paaun da lalach karda hai,

par dharmi dinda hai te kise cheez to hath ghutti nahi rakhda.+

28 jhootha gavah mit javega,+

par jehrra aadmi sunda hai, os di gavahi safal hovegi.*

29 dusht de chehre to vishvas jhalkda taa hai,+

par nek insaan da raah hi sahi hunda hai.*+

31 yudh de din layi ghorra tyaar keeta janda hai,+

par bachaa yahovah vallo hi hunda hai.+
