Adi Granth contains Baba Farid's verses on 'Dhola'

Adi Granth contains Baba Farid's verses on 'Dhola' which is the first symbol of an ideal lover in Lehindi and its dialects. It reads-

Nath na ain kasumabhre jal jasi, Dhola

(Dhol), don't touch the opium water, lest it spells disaster on you).

This is in the context of Umru, a villain's Design to intoxicate Dhol, while he was travelling with his wife, so that when Dhol was out of his senses, he would abduct his wife. The verse was made out to have sung by a drummer- woman, as a warning. The verse is relevant in philosophical and religious terms as a symbol of warning to all to not to be lured by evils or evil designs of others.
