Kabir says: giving your account is easy when your heart is clean.
In that True Court, no one will grab you by the hem.
A clean heart has nothing to fear.
With a clean heart, there is nothing to fear when your life is looked over.
Laykhaa daynaa suhaylaa: giving the account is easy, ja-o dil soochee ho-ay, when the heart is pure. Us saachay deebaan meh: in that True Court. Palaa na pakrai ko-ay: no one catches hold of your hem to hold you back.
