Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Clinging to Maya, the pull of passing things, this mind comes to ruin.
The flow of life was written from the very start, so to whom could I go and complain? Only a few, turned toward the Guru, understand this. Without the Naam, no one is set free.
Clinging to passing things unsettles your mind, and the Naam sets you free.
Is man maa-i-aa mohi binaas: attachment to Maya, the shine of passing things, ruins the mind. Dhur hukam likhi-aa is the Hukam, the flow of existence, set from the very beginning, the way gravity simply works. Taan kahee-ai kaas: to whom could I complain? Gurmukh virlaa cheenHai ko-ee: only a rare person, facing the Guru, sees this. Naam bihoonaa mukat na ho-ee: without the Naam, no one is freed.
Is there something you keep wishing were different that might be worth simply understanding instead?
