jaisay bachhuraa bilalaat maat milabay kau , bandhan kai basi kachhu basu n basaat hai |

Just as a calf writhes and wriggles to meet his mother but tethered with rope makes him helpless.

jaisay tau bigaaree chaahai bhavan gavan keeao , par basi paray chitavat hee bihaat hai |

Just as a person caught in forced or unpaid labour wants to go home and spends time planning while remaining in other's control.

jaisay birahanee pria sangam sanayhu chaahay , laaj kul ankas kai durabal gaat hai |

Just as a wife separated from her husband wants love and union but cannot do so for fear of family shame and thus loses her physical attraction.

taisay gur charan sarani soukh chaahai sikhu , aagiaa badh rahat bidays akulaat hai |520|

Similarly a true disciple wants to enjoy the pleasures of the refuge of True Guru but bound by his command he wanders around dejectedly in another place. (520)
