ਮਾਇਆ ਮੋਹਿ ਹਰਿ ਸਿਉ ਚਿਤੁ ਨ ਲਾਗੈ ॥
maa-i-aa mohi har si-o chit na laagai.
Emotionally attached to Maya, one's consciousness is not attached to the Lord.
ਦੂਜੈ ਭਾਇ ਘਣਾ ਦੁਖੁ ਆਗੈ ॥
doojai bhaa-ay ghanaa dukh aagai.
In the love of duality, he will suffer terrible agony in the world hereafter.
ਮਨਮੁਖ ਭਰਮਿ ਭੁਲੇ ਭੇਖਧਾਰੀ ਅੰਤ ਕਾਲਿ ਪਛੁਤਾਤਾ ਹੇ ॥੮॥
manmukh bharam bhulay bhaykh-Dhaaree ant kaal pachhutaataa hay. ||8||
The hypocritical, self-willed manmukhs are deluded by doubt; at the very last moment, they regret and repent. ||8||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
When our attention clings only to passing things, it forgets to rest in the One.
Living split in two can leave us restless and unsure.
But it is never too late to turn the heart home — the sooner we do, the lighter the road becomes.
It is never too late to turn your heart toward home.
Maa-i-aa mohi har si-o chit na laagai — when attention clings to passing things, it forgets the One. Doojai bhaa-ay, living split in two, leaves the heart restless. The turn toward home can begin at any moment, and the sooner it starts, the lighter the road.
