Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Caught in love of Maya, a person wanders far.
They act along the lines drawn by their past actions.
The Creator alone stays untouched. Good deeds and bad deeds do not stick to the One.
The world drifts in attachment and old habits, and the Creator stays free and untouched.
Maa-i-aa mohi baho bharmi-aa: wandering far, caught in attachment. Kirat raykh: the lines drawn by past actions, which we call karma. Against all that motion stands karnaihaar alipat aap: the Creator, untouched. Nahee layp prabh punn paap: neither good nor bad deeds leave a stain on the One. Resting in the One, we can find some of that same steadiness.
What would it feel like to stay calm and steady even when everything around you is moving fast?
