ਕਬੀਰ ਬਾਂਸੁ ਬਡਾਈ ਬੂਡਿਆ ਇਉ ਮਤ ਡੂਬਹੁ ਕੋਇ ॥
ਹੇ ਕਬੀਰ! ਬਾਂਸ ਦਾ ਬੂਟਾ (ਉੱਚਾ ਲੰਮਾ ਹੋਣ ਦੇ) ਮਾਣ ਵਿਚ ਡੁੱਬਿਆ ਹੋਇਆ ਹੈ;ਤੁਸੀ ਕੋਈ ਧਿਰ ਬਾਂਸ ਵਾਂਗ (ਹਉਮੈ ਵਿਚ) ਨਾਹ ਡੁੱਬ ਜਾਇਓ ।
Kabeer, the bamboo is drowned in its egotistical pride. No one should drown like this.
 
ਚੰਦਨ ਕੈ ਨਿਕਟੇ ਬਸੈ ਬਾਂਸੁ ਸੁਗੰਧੁ ਨ ਹੋਇ ॥੧੨॥
ਬਾਂਸ ਭਾਵੇਂ ਚੰਦਨ ਦੇ ਨੇੜੇ ਭੀ ਉੱਗਾ ਹੋਇਆ ਹੋਵੇ, ਉਸ ਵਿਚ ਚੰਦਨ ਵਾਲੀ ਸੁਗੰਧੀ ਨਹੀਂ ਆਉਂਦੀ ।।੧੨।
Bamboo also dwells near the sandalwood tree, but it does not take up its fragrance. ||12||
