Ik danda hai jamm de hathin papi jeev nun maaran lai;
Ik khoondi hai satguru hathin papi jeev udharan lai. Ik lathi hai raahjan de hatth vich mare jo har rahi nun; Ik lathi hai rakhi kardi mildi jadon sipahi nun. Ik banda banda nahin banda ik banda bhagwan bane; Kahe avtar vast hai ikko jo bujhe insaan bane. |

There is one stick in the hands of the Angel of Death, which is wielded to punish the sinners;
There is another stick in the hands of the True Master, which is wielded to redeem the sinners. There is one long stick in the hands of a robber, which is wielded to beat any wayfarer; There is yet another long stick in the hands of a policeman, which is wielded to protect the people. There is one man who does not behave as man, and there is yet another who exalts himself to the level of God; Avtar says, the object (Truth) is the same, and 'man' is the one who knows it. |
