ਦੋਹਰਾ ॥

ਸਹਰ ਅਕਬਰਾਬਾਦ ਮੈ ਤ੍ਰਿਯਾ ਕ੍ਰਿਯਾ ਕੀ ਹੀਨ ॥

Guru Gobind Singh Ji Mahraaj start off with the name of the place where this ਚਰਿਤ੍ਰ is set. The name of the city (ਸਹਰ) is ਅਕਬਰਾਬਾਦ. Therefore, we can gauge that the time of this city is during the period of Akbar and of Dasam Paatshah Ji writing this, such as like the ਚਰਿਤ੍ਰ in Shah Jahan’s city. So, there is a ਤ੍ਰਿਯਾ (lady) who is ਕ੍ਰਿਯਾ ਕੀ ਹੀਨ, without any good actions/deeds.

ਮੰਤ੍ਰ ਜੰਤ੍ਰ ਅਰੁ ਤੰਤ੍ਰ ਸਭ ਤਿਨ ਮੈ ਅਧਿਕ ਪ੍ਰਬੀਨ ॥੧॥

ਪ੍ਰਬੀਨ = ਸਿਆਣੀ (smart), this Lady was very smart, intelligent and knowedgeable, but what was it that she was smart in? Mahraaj say she was smart in 3 things: ਮੰਤ੍ਰ ਜੰਤ੍ਰ ਅਰੁ ਤੰਤ੍ਰ, ਮੰਤ੍ਰ = spells you can do by sound, ਜੰਤ੍ਰ = spells you can do by images, and ਤੰਤ੍ਰ = spells you can do by different types of technology (black magic).

ਸ੍ਰੀ ਅਨੁਰਾਗ ਮਤੀ ਕੁਅਰਿ ਲੋਗ ਬਖਾਨਹਿ ਤਾਹਿ ॥

Guru Sahib Ji say people (ਲੋਗ) called her ਸ੍ਰੀ ਅਨੁਰਾਗ ਮਤੀ ਕੁਅਰਿ. However, if we breakdown and decipher this name: ਸ੍ਰੀ = highest, ਅਨੁਰਾਗ = without love,ਮਤੀ = intellect, ਕੁਅਰਿ means 2 things, a ਰਾਜ ਕੁਮਾਰੀ and ਢਣਯਾ (virgin). So her name means she is independent.but something happened in her life that changed all of that.

ਸੁਰੀ ਆਸੁਰੀ ਕਿੰਨ੍ਰਨੀ ਰੀਝਿ ਰਹਤ ਲਖਿ ਵਾਹਿ ॥੨॥

ਸੁਰੀ = angelic beings, ਆਸੁਰੀ = demons, ਕਿੰਨ੍ਰਨੀ = those that dance in the heavens ਲਖਿ ਵਾਹਿ = to see. These angelic beings see her and they get happy (ਰੀਝਿ).

ਅੜਿਲ ॥

ਬਹੁ ਪੁਰਖਨ ਸੋ ਬਾਲ ਸਦਾ ਰਤਿ ਮਾਨਈ ॥

What happened was she started to commit acts of ਕਾਮ where she would not only get in a relationship with one person but with others, guru sahib say ਬਹੁ ਪੁਰਖਨ (many men), that she would play (ਬਾਲ) the game of love (ਰਤਿ).

ਕਾਹੂ ਕੀ ਨਹਿ ਲਾਜ ਹ੍ਰਿਦੈ ਮੈ ਆਨਈ ॥

Mahraaj says that she would not take anybody's ਲਾਜ (fear) in her heart. The biggest fear we are meant to have is the fear of God/Guru, if someone doesn't have fear of them, they will do anything. Mahraaj says she isn't fearful of anyone.

ਸੈਯਦ ਸੇਖ ਪਠਾਨ ਮੁਗਲ ਬਹੁ ਆਵਈ ॥

So, what type of men would come to her? We know, she is in the city of ਅਕਬਰਾਬਾਦ, but Guru Sahib Ji says there are 4 types of men that would come to her and these 4 are from the Muslim tradition:
