ਧੰਨੈ ਡਿਠਾ ਚਲਿਤੁ ਏਹੁ ਪੁਛੈ ਬਾਮ੍ਹਣੁ ਆਖਿ ਸੁਣਾਵੈ।

Dhannai Dithhaa Chalitu Ayhu Poochhai Baamhanu Aakhi Sunaavai |

On seeing his worship, Dhanna asked the brahman what he was doing.

ਠਾਕੁਰ ਦੀ ਸੇਵਾ ਕਰੈ ਜੋ ਇਛੈ ਸੋਈ ਫਲੁ ਪਾਵੈ।

Thhaakur Dee Sayvaa Karay Jo Ichhai Soee Fal Paavai |

“Service to the Thakur (God) gives the desired fruit,” replied the brahman.

ਧੰਨਾ ਕਰਦਾ ਜੋਦੜੀ ਮੈ ਭਿ ਦੇਹ ਇਕ ਜੇ ਤੁਧੁ ਭਾਵੈ।

Dhannaa Karadaa Jodarhee Mai Bhi Dayh Ik Jay Tudhu Bhaavai |

Dhanna requested, “O brahman, if you agree kindly give one to me.”

ਪਥਰੁ ਇਕ ਲਪੇਟਿ ਕਰਿ ਦੇ ਧੰਨੈ ਨੋ ਗੈਲ ਛੁਡਾਵੈ।

Pathharu Iku Lapayti Kari Day Dhannai No Gail Chhudaavai |

The brahman rolled a stone, gave it to Dhanna and thus got rid of him.

ਠਾਕੁਰ ਨੋ ਨ੍ਹਾਵਾਲਿਕੈ ਛਾਹਿ ਰੋਟੀ ਲੈ ਭੋਗੁ ਚੜ੍ਹਾਵੈ।

Thhaakur No Nhaavaali Kai Chhaahi Rotee Lai Bhogu Charhhaavai |

Dhanna bathed the Thakur and offered him bread and buttermilk.

ਹਥਿ ਜੋੜਿ ਮਿਨਤਾਂ ਕਰੈ ਪੈਰੀਂ ਪੈ ਪੈ ਬਹੁਤ ਮਨਾਵੈ।

Hathhi Jorhi Minati Karai Pairee Pai Pai Bahutu Manaavai |

With folded hands and falling at the feet of the stone he begged for his service to be accepted.

ਹਉਂ ਭੀ ਮੁਹੁ ਨ ਜੁਠਾਲਸਾਂ ਤੂ ਰੁਠਾ ਮੈ ਕਿਹੁ ਨ ਸੁਖਾਵੈ।

Hau Bhee Muhu N Juthhaalasaan Too Ruthhaa Mai Kihu N Sukhaavai |

Dhanna said, “I will also not eat because how can I be happy if you are annoyed.”

ਗੋਸਾਈ ਪਰਤਖਿ ਹੋਇ ਰੋਟੀ ਖਾਇ ਛਾਹਿ ਮੁਹਿ ਲਾਵੈ।

Gosaaee Pratakhi Hoi Rotee Khaahi Chhaahi Muhi Laavai |

(Seeing his true and loving devotion) God was forced to appear and eat his bread and buttermilk.

ਭੋਲਾ ਭਾਉ ਗੋਬਿੰਦੁ ਮਿਲਾਵੈ ॥੧੩॥

Bholaa Bhaau Gobindu Milaavai ||13 ||

In fact, innocence like that of Dhanna makes the sight of the Lord available.
