Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
They do not see the One near at hand, and go into other people's homes instead.
They take what belongs to others and live on lies.
A trickster's spell has fallen on them, and they do not know that the One is with them.
Without the Guru, they are lost and confused by doubt.
Missing the One who is right beside you, it is easy to go reaching into other people's lives for what is theirs.
Nikat na daykhai par garihi jaa-ay: not seeing the near One, a person goes to others' homes. Darab hirai: they take others' wealth. Thag-uree is the drug a trickster slips to a traveller on the road, a spell that makes you forget the One is right beside you. Without the Guru, one is bharam bhulaani-aa, lost in doubt.
When have you searched everywhere for something that was right in front of you?
