Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The one who follows only their own mind cannot get free of false hopes. Loving something other than the One, they come to ruin.
Their belly is like a river that is never full. The fire of wanting burns them up.
Wanting that never stops is a fire, and no amount of more can fill it.
Manmukh aasaa nahee utrai: the one turned toward their own mind cannot set hope down; it keeps reaching. Doojai bhaa-ay khu-aa-ay: in love of something other than the One, they lose their way. Udar nai saan: the belly is like a river. A river keeps taking in water and never says "enough." Trisnaa agan pachaa-ay: the fire of craving, trisnaa, burns on.
What is something you wanted badly that did not satisfy you once you had it?
