Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Love breaks when we answer back in defiance — the way an arm breaks when it's pulled hard from both sides.
Love snaps when words turn sour.
The Beloved leaves behind the bride whose mind has turned unkind.
But a broken knot can be tied again, through quiet reflection.
Through the Guru's Word, things come right within your own home.
Whoever earns the profit of Truth never loses it — the Master of all the worlds is your very best friend.
Harsh speech (bur bol) breaks love, like an arm pulled from both sides, and the Beloved leaves behind the bride lost in durmat, an unkind, crooked mind. Then comes the turn: tootai ganth parhai veechaar — the broken knot is retied through reflection, and affairs are mended at home.
Is there a bond of yours that could be gently tied back together?
