Indian Jackal

Modern Punjabi
n. giddar. M; giddari. F;

The  jackal is named only 5 times in Gurbani, and siaar is the word used 4 of those 5 times.

ਜਬ ਲਗੁ ਸਿੰਘੁ ਰਹੈ ਬਨ ਮਾਹਿ ॥
jab lag singh rehai ban maahi ||
As long as the tiger lives in the forest,

ਤਬ ਲਗੁ ਬਨੁ ਫੂਲੈ ਹੀ ਨਾਹਿ ॥
thab lag ban foolai hee naahi ||
the forest does not flower.

ਜਬ ਹੀ ਸਿਆਰੁ ਸਿੰਘ ਕਉ ਖਾਇ ॥
jab hee siaar singh ko khaae ||
But when the jackal eats the tiger,

ਫੂਲਿ ਰਹੀ ਸਗਲੀ ਬਨਰਾਇ ॥੨॥
fool rehee sagalee banaraae ||2||
then the entire forest flowers. ||2||

ਜੀਤੋ ਬੂਡੈ ਹਾਰੋ ਤਿਰੈ ॥
jeetho booddai haaro thirai ||
The victorious are drowned, while the defeated swim across.
