ਤ੍ਰਿਸਨ ਨ ਬੂਝੀ ਬਹੁ ਰੰਗ ਮਾਇਆ ॥
tarisan na boojhee baho rang maa-i-aa.
Thirst and desire are not quenched by enjoying the many pleasures of Maya.
ਨਾਮੁ ਲੈਤ ਸਰਬ ਸੁਖ ਪਾਇਆ ॥੩॥
naam lait sarab sukh paa-i-aa. ||3||
Chanting the Naam, the Name of the Lord, total peace is found. ||3||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Thirst and wanting are never quenched by all the many pleasures of Maya, the shimmering, passing world.
Chanting the Naam, you find complete peace.
The chase for more never ends; the peace of the Naam does not run out.
Wanting more never ends, and the Naam brings complete peace.
Tarisan na boojhee baho rang maa-i-aa: thirst is not quenched by the many colors of Maya, the shimmering, passing world. It is like drinking salt water, which only makes you thirstier. Naam lait sarab sukh: taking the Naam brings complete peace.
