Kina hi koi hoye sukhala hove je dhanwaan vi oh; Raja vi je hove jag da kar laye lakhan daan vi oh. Dar te rehan bhikhari hardam shaan hove lasani vi; Gareeban ate anathan utte kardai meharbani vi. Daan kare te pun eh samjhe taras vi sabh te khanda rahe; Jo koi mange sabh nun deve daani vi akhwanda rahe. Jag di shobha jag vich rehndi agge galdi daal nahin; Kahe avtar hari de bajhon kujh vi janda naal nahin. |

One may be any prosperous, any rich; One may be king of the world and give away lakhs in charity. One may have people standing at his door abetting all the time, and his grandeur may be matchless; One may be kind and generous to the poor and the orphans. One may make lot of donations taking it as a virtue, and may be compassionate to all; One may give whatever the others a beg and may be known as a great donor. All this worldly name and fame is for the world, it will be of no avail hereafter; Avtar says, nothing except God accompanies man. |
