Hans uddr kodhare

Hans uddr kodhare peya lok widdarn jaai
Gehla lok na janda hans na kodhara khaai

English Translation

The swans fly away, and land in the fields of grain. The people go to chase them away. The thoughtless people do not know, that the swans do not eat the grain.

Translation: S. S. Khalsa
