Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
People read the Vedas, and read them again, and argue about Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva.
This Maya of three moods, the world's busy show, has fooled the whole world into worry and doubt about birth and death.
By the Guru's grace, know the One, and the worry in your mind will settle.
Arguing in circles keeps the mind spinning; knowing the One, by the Guru's grace, lets the worry go.
Vayd parhai parh vaad vakhaanai means people read the Vedas, the old holy books, again and again, and then argue. They argue about barahmaa bisan mahaysaa, Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva. The trouble is not the books. The trouble is the endless arguing. It is like two friends fighting over a recipe while the food burns.
Tarigun maa-i-aa is the world's busy show, swinging between three moods. Maa-i-aa means everything that grabs our attention and pulls us away from the One. It keeps people spinning with worry about being born and dying.
Gur parsaadee ayko jaanai means knowing the One, by the Guru's grace. Chookai manhu andaysaa: then the worry leaves the mind.
When has arguing about something left you more tangled up than before?
