Then in the form of verdant plant it becomes stem and branches.

ਬਿਰਖ ਅਕਾਰ ਬਿਥਾਰੁ ਕਰਿ ਬਹੁ ਜਟਾ ਪਲੰਮੈ।

Becoming tree it extends further and tangled branches hang from it.

ਜਟਾ ਲਟਾ ਮਿਲਿ ਧਰਤਿ ਵਿਚਿ ਹੋਇ ਮੂਲ ਅਗੰਮੈ।

Jataa Lataa Mili Dharati Vichi Hoi Mool Aganmai |

These flourishing branches ultimately entering the earth again attain the form of roots.

Chhaanv Ghanee Pat Sohanay Fal Lakh Lakhanmai |

Now its shade becomes think and leaves appear beautiful and millions of fruits grow on it.

ਫਲ ਫਲ ਅੰਦਰਿ ਬੀਅ ਬਹੁ ਗੁਰਸਿਖ ਮਰੰਮੈ ॥੧੮॥

Fal Fal Andari Beea Bahu Gur Sikh Maranmai ||18 ||

In each fruit remain many seeds (and this process goes on). The mystery of the Sikhs of the Guru is the same; they also like banyan tree go on spreading the name of the Lord.
