Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The world is a swamp of wrongdoing. Blinded, I went wrong and fell into a deep sea of clinging and pride,
confused and tangled up in Maya, the pull of things that shine and fade.
The One Himself took me by the hand and lifted me up and out. Save me, O King, Lord of the Universe.
When you are stuck in the swamp of clinging and pride, the One reaches in, takes your hand and lifts you out.
Saisaar gaar bikaar saagar: the world is a swamp, a sea of wrongdoing. Moh maan: clinging and pride. Maa-i-aa sang DhanDh: tangled in the busy-ness of Maya, the passing world. Kar gahay parabh aap kaadhahu: the One takes my hand and pulls me out.
Picture someone stuck in deep mud at the edge of a pond. Struggling only sinks them deeper. Then a strong hand reaches down and pulls them free.
When did someone reach out and help you when you felt stuck?
