Kabeeraa jahaa giaan tah dharam hai jahaa jhooth tah paap. Jahaa lobh tah kaal hai jahaa khimaa tah aap.
Meaning
Where there is wisdom, there is righteousness; where there is falsehood, there is wrongdoing. Where there is greed, there is death; where there is forgiveness, there is the Divine itself.
ਜਿੱਥੇ ਗਿਆਨ ਹੈ, ਉੱਥੇ ਧਰਮ ਹੈ; ਜਿੱਥੇ ਝੂਠ ਹੈ, ਉੱਥੇ ਪਾਪ ਹੈ। ਜਿੱਥੇ ਲੋਭ ਹੈ, ਉੱਥੇ ਮੌਤ ਹੈ; ਜਿੱਥੇ ਖਿਮਾ ਹੈ, ਉੱਥੇ ਰੱਬ ਆਪ ਹੈ।
