THE LEGEND OF SIlA DAf. 827
Muktal.
Ap, Gur, kirpa kijo :
•"Araz mere sun lijo :
Chiro mere kan
1040 Jog k£i rasta dijo !
Jogi.
" Ja, landi ke ! Bhag ja ! tu kya j^ne jog !
Jo dhare hai jog ko, tiyag sliakal man bhog.
Tiyag sliakal man bhog : kathan hai jag men jog
dahem
Panclion mar, packis tiyag de : jab jogi ka chela.
1045 Sab parwar tiyag kanwar, to jag men rahe akela.
Baia bikat khande ki dhara ! yeh mat jan suhela \"
Refrain.
" Gurfi, have thou mercy :
Here my petition.
Pierce my ears.
Jogi.
"Go, thou son of a cur ! Be off ! what dost thou know
of saintship
Who takes the saintship, renounces all the desires of
his heart.
Renounces all the desires of his heart ; the saintship is
hard and difficult in the world !
Put off the five (desires) and the twenty-five (lusts) :
then canst thou be ajogi's disciple.
1045 Renouncing thy whole family and sonSj live alone ia
the world.
The point of a sword is a very difficult thing (to rest on)
Imagine not this (saintship) to be
"
easy !
