Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Without the grace of good karma, everyone wanders, lost in doubt.
Holding tight to Maya, the world of things that pass, they end up in deep pain.
Those who follow only their own mind, blind to what matters, find no place to rest.
They are like little worms in a dung heap, living in the muck and sinking back into it.
Without grace, a heart gets lost in doubt and looks for rest where there is none.
Bin karmaa means without grace or good karma. Bharam bhulaa-ee: lost in doubt. Maa-i-aa mohi: clinging to Maya, the world of things that come and go. A manmukh is someone who follows only their own mind; andhay means blind, unable to see what matters. Thaur na paa-ee: they find no place to rest.
The last picture is strong: a worm in a dung heap, living there and sinking back into it. It shows a life that settles for what cannot feed it and calls that home. Think of someone scrolling late at night, tired and still unable to stop. The picture is harsh so that the heart wakes up and looks for something better.
Where do people look for happiness that cannot give it?
