THE CHURRAS.

Té kimia kar pakde. Chuilé dégân charhidn né, Dé dé dandidi musk raļdé. Pakdké dégân Idiydi ne. Ké!h channan rulch jaláé. Saja karke bartan rakkéo né,
Phir barlanan vich pde. • Tussi bhojan kohdo, dánúó, Rabb karika lékhe idé.' * Assí tadón bhojan khávánge, Jé dónón bál big hdl.' Skdh bdhar nikal gharón gaya : Mange bdhar dudé Hath jhárú mondhé chhajhdi,
He hashed them up and began to cook them. He put the pots on the fire, And put spices in them with ladles. They took off the pots when the food was ready. They burnt sandalwood. Placing clean plates before them, He put the food into them.
Eat food, O devils, May God reckon this to me in some degree.' •We will eat food only then, When you seat the boys with us.' He went outside the house, And prayed a prayer. With brooms in their hands and baskets on the
shoulders, The boys came repeating the name of God. Then Udnak washed the plates, And Padnak gave them water to wash their han is. They came and stood in their presence. The angels were glad on seeing them. The Shah offered thauks. Then the spirits ate the food. God blessed it in abundance. He is the one true name omnipresent. In thy house is no want.
Déén nám Rabb då japdé dé. Phir Udnak dhôndd saindkidi, Té Pudnak dast ô dast dhulde. Oh házir an khalôté né. Phir wékhké firishté khush hộé. Shah tad ef shukr karáé. Phir bhijan dånadn khdliya. Rabb pardé ras karáé. Oh ék nám sach paui dhani. Têrê pha lối chơi là mi.
Námoi ghus gayd Bálmik, Jihrá phirdd vich ujdr. Bhalê burế mái nghĩa jaida. Pharké dénda mdr utár.
Baba Nanak & Bhai Mardana Unnun mil paé vich ujdr. Oh dôái dhirdi nún vékhké, Khich khard hathiyar. Unntin Baba nasihatan kitian : Tú kar lé qaul qarár * Tú aidékion pdp kamtunden: Koi nibehga dam de nd!. Sannú aithe banh ja. Jáké půchh a gharon bahar.' Té jaldi ghar núi pahuchiyd. Sab lándá ji utha | aida kapal. * Main aida ka pdp kanaunán, Vich jaké janga! bdr. Kü arkhé véļ6 banegd, Mérá dil dd ydr?' Uhndi akhiyd- tú ledvéngá Tế asản khá làng..
Bâlmik forgot the Name, When he wandered in the jungle. He distinguished not between good and evil. He caught (travellers) and beat them and
stripped them. Baba Nanak and Bhâi Mardana Met him in the wilderness. Looking at both of them, He drew his sword. Baba Nanak gave him good counsel, And exacted a confession from him. • You commit great sins : None will help you at the last. Bind us here. Ask your family if they will suffer for you." He went quickly home. He called all in the house. "I do so much evil, Going out to the desert. In the time of trouble Will some one befriend me?' They said :- What you bring We will eat.
