ਮਾਇਆ ਮੋਹੁ ਅੰਤਰਿ ਮਲੁ ਲਾਗੈ ਮਾਇਆ ਕੇ ਵਾਪਾਰਾ ਰਾਮ ॥
maa-i-aa moh antar mal laagai maa-i-aa kay vaapaaraa raam.
The dirt of attachment to Maya clings to their hearts and they are in the business of amassing worldly wealth only.
Uchafu wa kiambatisho kwa Maya unakwamilia mioyo yao na wamo katika biashara ya kukusanya utajiri wa kidunia pekee.
ਮਾਇਆ ਕੇ ਵਾਪਾਰਾ ਜਗਤਿ ਪਿਆਰਾ ਆਵਣਿ ਜਾਣਿ ਦੁਖੁ ਪਾਈ ॥

Those who love amassing the worldly wealth only, suffer going through the cycle of birth and death.
Wale wanaopenda kukusanya utajiri wa kidunia pekee, wanateseka wakipitia mzunguko wa kuzaliwa na kufa.

So, like a worm of filth, a human being is attached to filth of Maya and is ultimately consumed in this filth.
Hivyo, kama minyoo ya uchafu, binadamu ameambatishwa kwa uchafu wa Maya na mwishowe anaangamizwa katika uchafu huu.
ਜੋ ਧੁਰਿ ਲਿਖਿਆ ਸੋਇ ਕਮਾਵੈ ਕੋਇ ਨ ਮੇਟਣਹਾਰਾ ॥

Binadamu anatenda kulingana na kile ambacho kimeagiziwa mapema na hakuna mtu anayeweza kufuta ukweli huu.
