Bhagat Kabir Ji · Salok Kabeer Jee
ਕਬੀਰ ਬਾਂਸੁ ਬਡਾਈ ਬੂਡਿਆ ਇਉ ਮਤ ਡੂਬਹੁ ਕੋਇ ॥
kabeer baans baddaaee booddiaa iau mat ddoobahu koe |
Kabeer, the bamboo is drowned in its egotistical pride. No one should drown like this.
ਚੰਦਨ ਕੈ ਨਿਕਟੇ ਬਸੈ ਬਾਂਸੁ ਸੁਗੰਧੁ ਨ ਹੋਇ ॥੧੨॥
chandan kai nikatte basai baans sugandh na hoe |12|
Bamboo also dwells near the sandalwood tree, but it does not take up its fragrance. ||12||
