ਮਾਇਆ ਬੰਧਨ ਟਿਕੈ ਨਾਹੀ ਖਿਨੁ ਖਿਨੁ ਦੁਖੁ ਸੰਤਾਏ ॥
maa-i-aa banDhan tikai naahee khin khin dukh santaa-ay.
Because of the bonds of Maya, the mind does not remain stable and suffers the mental torture at every moment.
Kwa sababu ya vifungo vya Maya, akili haibaki thabiti na inateseka kwa mateso ya kiakili kila wakati.
ਨਾਨਕ ਮਾਇਆ ਕਾ ਦੁਖੁ ਤਦੇ ਚੂਕੈ ਜਾ ਗੁਰ ਸਬਦੀ ਚਿਤੁ ਲਾਏ ॥੩॥
naanak maa-i-aa kaa dukh taday chookai jaa gur sabdee chit laa-ay. ||3||
O’ Nanak, the distress of worldly attachments is dispelled only when one fixes the mind on Guru’s word.||3||
Ee Nanak, mahangaiko ya viambatisho vya kidunia yanaondolewa tu wakati mtu anakazia akili yake kwa neno la Guru.
ਮਨਮੁਖ ਮੁਗਧ ਗਾਵਾਰੁ ਪਿਰਾ ਜੀਉ ਸਬਦੁ ਮਨਿ ਨ ਵਸਾਏ ॥
manmukh mugaDh gaavaar piraa jee-o sabad man na vasaa-ay.
O’ my dear, the self-willed person is foolish and crazy, he does not enshrine the Guru’s word in his mind.
Ee mpendwa wangu, mtu mwenye hiari binafsi ni mpumbavu na mwenye kichaa, yeye hathamini neno la Guru akilini mwake.
ਮਾਇਆ ਕਾ ਭ੍ਰਮੁ ਅੰਧੁ ਪਿਰਾ ਜੀਉ ਹਰਿ ਮਾਰਗੁ ਕਿਉ ਪਾਏ ॥
maa-i-aa kaa bharam anDh piraa jee-o har maarag ki-o paa-ay.
O my dear, the love of Maya makes him spiritually blind, how can he find the way to unite with God?
Ee mpendwa wangu, upendo wa Maya unamfanya kipofu wa kiroho, atawezaje kupata njia ya kuungana na Mungu?
ਕਿਉ ਮਾਰਗੁ ਪਾਏ ਬਿਨੁ ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਭਾਏ ਮਨਮੁਖਿ ਆਪੁ ਗਣਾਏ ॥
ki-o maarag paa-ay bin satgur bhaa-ay manmukh aap ganaa-ay.
Yes, without following the teachings of the True Guru, this self-willed person cannot find the way to unite with God as he always displays himself as better than others?
Ndio, bila kupata mafundisho ya Guru wa Kweli, mtu huyu mwenye hiari binafsi hawezi kupata njia ya kuungana na Mungu kwa sababu huwa anajigamba kuwa mzuri kuliko wengine?
ਹਰਿ ਕੇ ਚਾਕਰ ਸਦਾ ਸੁਹੇਲੇ ਗੁਰ ਚਰਣੀ ਚਿਤੁ ਲਾਏ ॥
har kay chaakar sadaa suhaylay gur charnee chit laa-ay.
By focusing their consciousness on Guru’s teachings, the humble devotees of God are forever in peace.
Kwa kumakinisha fahamu zao kwa mafundisho ya Guru, watawa wanyenyekevu wa Mungu wamo na amani milele.
ਜਿਸ ਨੋ ਹਰਿ ਜੀਉ ਕਰੇ ਕਿਰਪਾ ਸਦਾ ਹਰਿ ਕੇ ਗੁਣ ਗਾਏ ॥
jis no har jee-o karay kirpaa sadaa har kay gun gaa-ay.
The one on whom God bestows his mercy always sings praises of God.
Kwa yule ambaye Guru anatawaza kwake huruma yake anaimba sifa za Mungu daima.
ਨਾਨਕ ਨਾਮੁ ਰਤਨੁ ਜਗਿ ਲਾਹਾ ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਆਪਿ ਬੁਝਾਏ ॥੪॥੫॥੭॥
naanak naam ratan jag laahaa gurmukh aap bujhaa-ay. ||4||5||7||
O’ Nanak, in this world the invaluable Naam is the real wealth and God Himself imparts this understanding through the Guru . ||4||5||7||
Ee Nanak, duniani humu Naam isiyokadirika ni utajiri halisi na Mungu Mwenyewe anatutolea uelewa huu kupitia kwa Guru.

O’ the supreme Creator and Master of wealth, being separated from You, we are feeling desperate; how can we meet You?
Ee Muumba mkuu na Bwana wa utajiri, kwa kutenganishwa kutoka kwako, tunahisi kutamaushwa, tunawezaje kukutana na Wewe?
ਕਰ ਕਰਹਿ ਸੇਵਾ ਸੀਸੁ ਚਰਣੀ ਮਨਿ ਆਸ ਦਰਸ ਨਿਮਾਣੀਆ ॥
kar karahi sayvaa sees charnee man aas daras nimaanee-aa.
Those humble soul-brides who perform the selfless service, follow the Guru’s teachings and yearn for the blessed vision of God.
Hao roho kama bi harusi wanyenyekevu wanaofanya huduma isiyo na ubinafsi, wanafuata mafundisho ya Guru na kutamani mwono uliobarikiwa wa Mungu.
ਸਾਸਿ ਸਾਸਿ ਨ ਘੜੀ ਵਿਸਰੈ ਪਲੁ ਮੂਰਤੁ ਦਿਨੁ ਰਾਤੇ ॥
saas saas na gharhee visrai pal moorat din raatay.
Day or night, they never forget You even for a single breath, instant, or moment.
Mchana ama usiku, kamwe hawakusahau Wewe hata kwa muda mfupi, papo hapo au wakati wowote.
ਨਾਨਕ ਸਾਰਿੰਗ ਜਿਉ ਪਿਆਸੇ ਕਿਉ ਮਿਲੀਐ ਪ੍ਰਭ ਦਾਤੇ ॥੧॥
naanak saaring ji-o pi-aasay ki-o milee-ai parabh daatay. ||1||
O’ Nanak, without God we are thirsty like the rainbird; how can we realize God, the Great Giver? ||1||
Ee Nanak, bila Mungu sisi tuna kiu kama ndege wa mvua; tunawezaje kumgundua Mungu, Mpaji Mkuu?
ਇਕ ਬਿਨਉ ਕਰਉ ਜੀਉ ਸੁਣਿ ਕੰਤ ਪਿਆਰੇ ॥
ik bin-o kara-o jee-o sun kant pi-aaray.
O’ my beloved Husband-God, I offer this one prayer, please listen to it.
Ee Mume-Mungu wangu mpendwa, nawasilisha ombi hili moja, tafadhali lisikilize.
ਮੇਰਾ ਮਨੁ ਤਨੁ ਮੋਹਿ ਲੀਆ ਜੀਉ ਦੇਖਿ ਚਲਤ ਤੁਮਾਰੇ ॥
mayraa man tan mohi lee-aa jee-o daykh chalat tumaaray.
My mind and body has been enticed beholding Your wondrous play.
Akili na mwili wangu umevutiwa kwa kutazama mchezo wako wa ajabu.
ਚਲਤਾ ਤੁਮਾਰੇ ਦੇਖਿ ਮੋਹੀ ਉਦਾਸ ਧਨ ਕਿਉ ਧੀਰਏ ॥
chaltaa tumaaray daykh mohee udaas Dhan ki-o Dheer-ay.
Yes, beholding Your wondrous play I am enticed; but how can such a soul-bride be content without union with You?
Ndio, kwa kutazama mchezo wako wa ajabu ninavutiwa; lakini roho kama bi harusi kama huyo atawezaje kutoshelezwa bila muungano na Wewe?
ਗੁਣਵੰਤ ਨਾਹ ਦਇਆਲੁ ਬਾਲਾ ਸਰਬ ਗੁਣ ਭਰਪੂਰਏ ॥

O’ my merciful, youthful Groom, You are overflowing with all the virtues.
