Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
People wear themselves out with pretending and superstition, yet deep in their hearts they still hunger for Maya, Maya, the world's shiny riches.
Through the holy one, I have met the One, the first and greatest Being, and the darkness of not-knowing is gone.
Pretending wears you out, and meeting the One clears the darkness away.
Pakhand bharam upaav kar thaakay: people grow weary with pakhand, putting on a show of holiness, and bharam, superstition and doubt. Every faith can fall into this, and it is the hollow show that tires people, never the faith itself. Rid antar maa-i-aa maa-i-aa: inside, the heart still cries for maya, the pull of money and things. Saadhoo purakh purakhpat paa-i-aa: through the holy one, the greatest Being is found. Agi-aan anDhayr gavaa-i-aa: the darkness of not-knowing is gone. Think of walking into a dark room and someone switching on the light.
When has understanding something suddenly made a worry disappear?
