Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
When I chase only what is not real, I can end up feeling emptied out, like a garden gone to weeds.
Without the Name, nothing quite tastes sweet.
But the moment I remember the One, the flavor of life comes back.
Without the Name, even sweet things taste flat.
Koorh muthee thagee thagvaarhee — falseness gets robbed and cheated by the cheats. A life built on what is not real ends up emptied out. Ji-o vaarhee ojaarh ujaarhee — like a garden turned into a wild, empty patch.
Naam binaa kichh saad na laagai — without the Name, nothing tastes good. Har bisri-ai dukh paa-ee — forgetting the One brings sorrow. Think of your favorite meal when you have a bad cold. The food is the same, but the flavor is gone. Remembering the One brings the flavor back.
What is something that only tastes good, or feels good, when you pay attention to it?
