Chaubolay, Verse 6 — a world tangled in false pursuits
ਮੂਸਨ ਮਰਮੁ ਨ ਜਾਨਈ ਮਰਤ ਹਿਰਤ ਸੰਸਾਰ ॥
moosan maram na jaan-ee marat hirat sansaar.
O Musan, the world does not understand the Mystery of the Lord; it is dying and being plundered.
ਪ੍ਰੇਮ ਪਿਰੰਮ ਨ ਬੇਧਿਓ ਉਰਝਿਓ ਮਿਥ ਬਿਉਹਾਰ ॥੬॥
paraym piramm na bayDhi-o urjhi-o mith bi-uhaar. ||6||
It is not pierced through by the Love of the Beloved Lord; it is entangled in false pursuits. ||6||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
O Musan, the world does not know this secret; it keeps dying and being robbed.
Its heart is never pierced by the Beloved's love; it stays tangled in false dealings.
Tangled in false dealings, the world misses the Beloved's love.
A world tangled in false dealings never feels the Beloved's love.
Maram na jaan-ee: the world does not know the secret, the mystery of love. Marat hirat sansaar: it keeps dying and being robbed, losing its days to things that do not last. Urjhi-o mith bi-uhaar: it is tangled up in false dealings, so love never reaches its heart.
