ਮਿਠ ਬੋਲੜਾ ਜੀ ਹਰਿ ਸਜਣ੝ ਸ੝ਆਮੀ ਮੋਰਾ ॥ ਹਉ ਸੰਮਲਿ ਥਕੀ ਜੀ ਓਹ੝ ਕਦੇ ਨ ਬੋਲੈ ਕਉਰਾ ॥
Miṯẖ bolṛĝ jī har sajaṇ su­ĝmī morĝ. Ha­o sammal thakī jī oh kaḝė na bolai ka­urĝ.
My Dear Lord and Master, my Friend, speaks so sweetly.
I have grown weary of testing Him, but still, He never speaks harshly to me.


There are some people who talk sweetly in front of others but behind their back they spit venom; the Guru has a special message for these people who appear very civilised and honourable but are the most evil-minded:

ਓਇ ਹਾਜਰ੝ ਮਿਠਾ ਬੋਲਦੇ ਬਾਹਰਿ ਵਿਸ੝ ਕਢਹਿ ਮ੝ਖਿ ਘੋਲੇ ॥ ਮਨਿ ਖੋਟੇ ਦਯਿ ਵਿਛੋੜੇ ॥੧੧॥
O­ė hĝjar miṯẖĝ bolḝė bĝhar vis kadẖeh mukẖ gẖolė. Man kẖotė ḝa­yi vicẖẖoṛė. ॥11॥
In His Sublime Presence, they talk sweetly, but behind His back, they exude poison from their mouths.
The evil-minded are consigned to separation from the Lord. ॥11॥
