# Uttar Kand · Doha 39

**चौ०** 
> सुनहु असंतन्ह केर सुभाऊ। भूलेहुँ संगति करिअ न काऊ॥  
> तिन्ह कर संग सदा दुखदाई। जिमि कपिलहि घालइ हरहाई॥१॥

**चौ०** 
> खलन्ह हृदयँ अति ताप बिसेषी। जरहिं सदा पर संपति देखी॥  
> जहँ कहुँ निंदा सुनहिं पराई। हरषहिं मनहुँ परी निधि पाई॥२॥

**चौ०** 
> काम क्रोध मद लोभ परायन। निर्दय कपटी कुटिल मलायन॥  
> बयरु अकारन सब काहू सों। जो कर हित अनहित ताहू सों॥३॥

**चौ०** 
> झूठइ लेना झूठइ देना। झूठइ भोजन झूठ चबेना॥  
> बोलहिं मधुर बचन जिमि मोरा। खाइ महा अहि हृदय कठोरा॥४॥

Meaning: “Now hear the characteristics of the impious, association with whom should be scrupulously avoided; for their company ever brings woe, even as a wicked cow ruins by her company a cow of noble breed. (1)

“The heart of the wicked suffers terrible agony: for they ever burn at the sight of others’ prosperity. Wherever they hear others reviled, they feel delighted as though they had stumbled upon a treasure lying on the road. (2)

“Devoted to sensuality, anger, arrogance and greed, they are merciless, deceitful, crooked and impure. They bear enmity towards all without rhyme or reason; nay, they behave inimically even with those who do good to them. (3)

“They are false in their dealings (lying is their stock-in-trade); nay, falsehood is their meal and falsehood their breakfast (whatever they do is intended to deceive others). They speak honeyed words just like the peacock that has a stony heart and devours the most venomous snake. (4)

**दो०** 
> पर द्रोही पर दार रत पर धन पर अपबाद।  
> ते नर पाँवर पापमय देह धरें मनुजाद॥३९॥

Meaning: “Malevolent by nature, they remain infatuated with others’ wives and others’ wealth and take delight in slandering others. Such vile and sinful men are demons in human garb. (39)
