Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
All the worlds are caught up in the pull of Your Maya, the shimmer of things that come and go.
I see no one else at all. You are everywhere.
You are the Master of the yogis, the Divine One of all the divine beings.
By serving at the Guru's feet, I receive the Naam of the One.
The whole world is dazzled by passing things, and I see only You.
Maa-i-aa moh means the pull of Maya. Maya is the glitter of things that come and go. It makes the world look like the whole story. Think of a phone screen full of bright little alerts. They grab your eyes, and soon you forget the room you are sitting in.
Guru Nanak looks straight through the glitter. Mai avar na deesai sarab toh means I see no one else; You are everywhere.
He calls the One the master of yogis and the Divine behind all the divine beings. So the One is the source even of those whom others worship. And the Naam comes by serving at the Guru's feet. It is a gift placed in open hands, not a prize you win.
When you look closely at anything in the world, what do you notice underneath it?
