ਦੂਜੈ ਭਾਇ ਦੁਸਟਾ ਕਾ ਵਾਸਾ ॥
doojai bhaa-ay dustaa kaa vaasaa.
The evil people live in the love of duality.
ਭਉਦੇ ਫਿਰਹਿ ਬਹੁ ਮੋਹ ਪਿਆਸਾ ॥
bha-uday fireh baho moh pi-aasaa.
They wander around, totally attached and thirsty.
ਕੁਸੰਗਤਿ ਬਹਹਿ ਸਦਾ ਦੁਖੁ ਪਾਵਹਿ ਦੁਖੋ ਦੁਖੁ ਕਮਾਇਆ ॥੧੧॥
kusangat baheh sadaa dukh paavahi dukho dukh kamaa-i-aa. ||11||
They sit in evil gatherings, and suffer in pain forever; they earn pain, nothing but pain. ||11||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Those who do wrong live in love of this-and-that. They wander about, full of clinging and thirst.
They sit in bad company and are always in pain; what they earn is pain, and only pain.
A heart split by this-and-that, in bad company, earns only more pain.
Duality — doojai bhaa-ay, the love of this-and-that — is where wrongdoing makes its home. It keeps a person wandering, clinging and thirsty. Kusangat, bad company, adds to the ache: sitting there, pain is all that is earned.
