Salok, Fifth Mehl:
ਖਖੜੀਆ ਸੁਹਾਵੀਆ ਲਗੜੀਆ ਅਕ ਕੰਠਿ ॥
khakharreea suhaaveea lagarreea ak kantth |
The fruit of the swallow-wort plant looks beautiful, attached to the branch of the tree;
ਬਿਰਹ ਵਿਛੋੜਾ ਧਣੀ ਸਿਉ ਨਾਨਕ ਸਹਸੈ ਗੰਠਿ ॥੧॥
birah vichhorraa dhanee siau naanak sahasai gantth |1|
but when it is separated from the stem of its Master, O Nanak, it breaks apart into thousands of fragments. ||1||
