Salok Sheikh Farid, Salok 127 — humility, forgiveness and sweet words win the Beloved
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Humility is the word, forgiveness is the good quality, and a sweet tongue is the magic charm.
Wear these three as your clothes, O sister, and you will win your Husband's heart.
Humility, forgiveness and sweet speech are what win the Beloved.
Nivan so akhar: bowing low, humility, is the word. Khavan gun: forgiveness is the good quality. Jihbaa manee-aa mant: a sweet tongue is the magic charm. This answers the question asked in the salok just before it.
Farid speaks to a "sister," bhainay, and says these three are the clothes to wear. The advice is for everyone. Think of the clothes you put on every morning. Humility, forgiveness and kind words can be put on the same way, every day.
Which of these three — humility, forgiveness, or kind words — could you wear more often?
