My Mind is not in Control - Maayi Man Mero Bas Naahi

Maayi man mero bas naahi 
Nis baasur bikhian kau dhaavat kihi bidhi Roku taahi 
                                                                                 
Bed Puraan Simriti kay mat sun nimakh na heeye basaavai 
Par-Dhan Par-Daara sion rachio birthaa janam siraavai  

Mad Maaya kai bhayo baavro soojhat nah kachhu Gyana
Ghat hee bheetar basat Niranjan taako marm na jaana

Jab hee Saran Saadh kee aayo durmati sagal binaasi
Tab Nanak cheteo Chintaamani kaati jam ki phaasi
                                                  (SGGS page 632)

                               Translation

O, mother, my mind is not in my control
Night and day, it runs after evil vices and wickedness. 
How can I restrain it? ||1||Pause||

(Even after) Listening to the teachings of the Vedas, the Puraanas, and the Simritis, does not keep them in heart, even for an instant.
Desiring the wealth and women of other's life passes away uselessly. 
Intoxicated with the wine of Maya, it does not seem to understand even a bit of Gyana- the spiritual wisdom.
Deep within the heart, the Immaculate Lord dwells, but he does not know this secret. 

(But) When I came to the Sanctuary of the Holy Saints - all my evil-mindedness was dispelled.
Then, O Nanak, I remembered the Chintaamani, the jewel which fulfills all desires, and the noose of Death was cut off - 
The cycle of life and death was broken.

एक बार, भगवान कृष्ण आईने के सामने खड़े थे अपने बालों और पोशाक को ठीक कर रहे थे। वह अपने सिर पर विभिन्न मुकुटों को सजा कर देख रहे थे और कई सु...
