ਜਗ ਮੋਹਨੀ ਹਮ ਤਿਆਗਿ ਗਵਾਈ ॥
jag mohnee ham ti-aag gavaa-ee.
I have renounced and discarded Maya, the Enticer of the world.
ਨਿਰਗੁਨੁ ਮਿਲਿਓ ਵਜੀ ਵਧਾਈ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥
nirgun mili-o vajee vaDhaa-ee. ||1|| rahaa-o.
I have met the Absolute Lord, and congratulations are pouring in. ||1||Pause||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
I have renounced and thrown off Maya, the enticer of the world.
I have met the Absolute One, and the congratulations are pouring in.
Throwing off what enticed you is cause for celebration, not loss.
The Pause announces freedom: "I have renounced and discarded Maya, the Enticer of the world." Having thrown off the enticer and met "the Absolute Lord," the soul is celebrated — "congratulations are pouring in." Escaping the enticer is cause for joy, not loss.
A Question to Sit With
What have you let go of that turned out to be a relief, not a loss?
