vakṣyántīvedā ganīgánti kárṇaṃ priyáṃ sákhāyaṃ pariṣasvajānā́ | yóṣeva śíṅkte vitátādhi dhánvan jyā́ iyáṃ samáne pāráyantī

Translation

ਜਿਵੇਂ ਉਹ ਬੋਲਦੀ ਹੋਵੇ, ਤਿਵੇਂ ਕਾਨ ਦੇ ਨੇੜੇ ਆਉਂਦੀ ਹੈ, ਪ੍ਰਿਯ ਸਖੇ ਨੂੰ ਚਾਰੋਂ ਪਾਸੋਂ ਘੇਰ ਕੇ ਜੱਫੀ ਪਾਂਦੀ ਹੈ। ਕੁੜੀ ਵਾਂਗ ਤਾਣੇ ਹੋਏ ਧਨੁਸ਼ ਨੂੰ ਸਜਾਂਦੀ ਹੈ; ਇਹ ਜਿਆ ਮੁਕਾਬਲੇ ਵਿੱਚ ਮਨੁੱਖ ਨੂੰ ਪਾਰ ਲੰਘਾ ਦੇਂਦੀ ਹੈ।
