Ajj= Bramha. Khall = moorakh = fool. Mridh pindh = ball of soil. Bhorr = morning.Jorr karr = accumulated. Makhlukh = ball/mound. Chakkar = potters spinningtable. Jhorr karr = power of hand. Chall kareh = the act of spinning. Attar =else. Bhalabh = close to heart. Pragalbh = wise. Kulaal = potter. Ghareh ghareh= makes clay pots. Ahoh = oh sigh. Bhorah = a very small amount. Morah = toturn around. Jareh = burns.

Moorakh{foolish} Bramha has made my mann {mind} the mound of clay which is constantlyspinning on the metaphorical potter's wheel of chintah {fears}.

Thetorment that gives rise to even further torment is the potter's stick , thismetaphorical stick of torment is used to spin the wheel constantly. Just as akumyiar {potter} manufactures many clay pots and other utensils , in the sameway the metaphorical potter Bramha produces the metaphorical clay pots of mitr{friends} , lovers , and wise etc. Why has he done so?

Haihafsos {oh sigh}! I have not known even an iota of the fact that the creator hasturned his back on me , as a result of which my mann {mind} constantly burns inthe metaphorical kiln of torments.{2}.

Dridhgranth = firmly tied knot. Aheh = is . Prabheden = to open. Gann = all. Vaari =orchard. Subhar = beautiful. Somh Ujyari = moonlight. Latta = branch. Kuhtari =axe. Vish = universe. Deep koh = candle like device. Byari = breeze. Haari =causes the destruction of. Kroor = greedy/bad. Mukhchari = Bramha.

Theegoistic pride that resides in the mann {mind} of the high caste/lineage isakin to a tight knot. The elegant kavi jann {poets} who are the metaphoricalorchard of good attributes are the moonlight that blossoms this orchard , andare the axe that cuts this shameful branch.

Theyare a saw to cut peace , there is a flower bed of torment which extinguishesthe light of happiness.

Bramhahas made things so. The stomachs of people never cease to be empty , everyoneis in a constant struggle to fill it. In this way the whole world has been tricked.{3}.

Bramhamade the intake of snakes to be air and soil , the acquisition of which neitherrequires effort or murder and as such is obtained easily. Agriculture and grassare the intake of bovine which is akin to sweet taste for them. They consumethis and rest on the ground in a blissful manner.

Onlythe upjeevkah {sustenance} of humans is made bad , which cannot be obtainedwithout wealth. The acquisition of this wealth involves the erosion of goodattributes. What has Bramha achieved by being an enemy of mankind? I have cometo know that no one can punish Bramha.{4}.

SORTAH

"BHAVVNIDDH TARAN MAJJAR BALLI NARAN KI TARUN DHEE. BIDDH NAH TAAHEH AHAAR KATT ULTEEBIDH NAH KIYOH." {5}.

To swimacross the metaphorical world ocean the young age is considered to be morestronger. Why did Bramha not make mankind's sustenance of a more independentmeans? Why has he not done this an inverse manner? {rhetorical question}.{5}.

Thethree types of torment have eroded my precious life. Where wealth exists , ifthat wealth was to diminish then this a cause of great torment. Whosoever isborn has become the victim of torment , they all succumb to death ultimately.

Bramhais without punishment , the result of which he has made everyone the subject oftorment.{6}.

In

some places there is the melody of flutes etc. , in some places there is the cryof pain , in some places discussions regarding Sants are taking place , and inother places tyrants are tormenting other folk.

Insome places the intellectually blind are consuming alcohol , some bad peopleare uttering bitter words , and in some places the magnificently beautifulsixteen year old female is the focus of attention. In some places people areenduring many torments akin to a fiercely burning fire.

Wecannot even begin to understand the creation of Bramha , i.e. whether it isAmrit {sweet} or jehar {poison}! {7}.

Ruchitt= not pleasing. Gaurtah = greatness. Galtaan = intoxicated in. Sekh = others.Haan = diminishing. Amitt = limitless.

Thesumer parbat {high mountain} does not please me because it is golden , gold forme is futile and also it remains intoxicated in its greatness.

Thosewho remain content are perpetually satisfied , for them there is nothing morepleasing than being content.

Thenthere are others whose minds are tormented with greed , their yearning neverceases even if they were to acquire several huge mountains.

Forwhom has this limitless wealth been created? , the contemplation of this suggeststhat Bramha is not intelligent.{8}.

Rachitt= priceless. Sadhan = house. Paurakh = strength. Aiyetann = Home. Prabeena =wise. Dharra = land. Jaddajadd = lifeless. Chaar = pleasant/beautiful. ChattarBadhan = Four faces of Bramha.

Thepriceless human life is the abode of all good attributes , vast strength , andof great wisdom.

Humansare the singaar {beauty} of the land , they are the superior species of all theother life forms , and can endure all the material and spiritual pleasures. Wehave considered the four faced Bramha to be very wise for creating such speciesas mankind.

Soonafter afterwards he destroys the life which is a matter of great sorrow for me, and upon seeing Bramha in this light I have considered him to be a moorakh{fool} rather than Pandit {scholar/wise}.{9}.
