ਜਾਨਤ ਹੋ ਅਵਿਲੋਕ ਮੁਝੈ ਹਠਿ ਏਕ ਬਲੀ ਨਹੀ ਠਾਂਢ ਰਹੈਂਗੇ ॥

Jaanta Ho Aviloka Mujhai Hatthi Eeka Balee Nahee Tthaandha Rahainge ॥

“You know that no mighty warrior can stay here firmly on seeing me

ਤਾਤਿ ਗਹਯੋ ਜਿਨ ਕੋ ਤ੍ਰਿਣ ਦਾਂਤਨ ਤੇਨ ਕਹਾ ਰਣ ਆਜ ਗਹੈਂਗੇ ॥

Taati Gahayo Jin Ko Trin Daantan Tena Kahaa Ran Aaja Gahainge ॥

“Those whose fathers and grandfathers held the blades of grass within their teeth on seeing me (i.e. they accepted defeat) what type of war will they wage with me now?

ਬੰਬ ਬਜੇ ਰਣ ਖੰਡ ਗਡੇ ਗਹਿ ਹਾਥ ਹਥਿਆਰ ਕਹੂੰ ਉਮਹੈਂਗੇ ॥

Baanba Baje Ran Khaanda Gade Gahi Haatha Hathiaara Kahooaan Aumahainge ॥

“Even if there is waged a terrible war how can they be bold enough now to march forward for war by taking hold of their weapons again?

ਭੂਮ ਅਕਾਸ ਪਤਾਲ ਦੁਰੈਬੇ ਕਉ ਰਾਮ ਕਹੋ ਕਹਾਂ ਠਾਮ ਲਹੈਂਗੇ ॥੧੪੮॥

Bhooma Akaas Pataala Duribe Kau Raam Kaho Kahaan Tthaam Lahainge ॥148॥

“Then tell me, O Ram, where will you find a place one earth, sky or netherworld to hide yourself?”148.
