Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Even the hunter who shot an arrow at Krishna was saved.
Kubija, whose back was bent, was saved when the One placed a foot on her thumb. Bidar was saved by his humble, serving heart.
O my mind, you too, remember the One.
The One lifts up even the people you would least expect, and you can turn to the One too.
BaDhik uDhaari-o means the hunter was saved. In the old story, this hunter shot the arrow that struck Krishna. Even he was lifted up.
Kubija is remembered as a woman whose back was bent. She was made whole by the gentlest touch. Bidar was lifted up by daasat bhaa-ay, his humble, serving heart.
Each verse ends the same way. Ray man too bhee har Dhi-aa-ay means my mind, you too, remember the One. It is like the chorus of a song you sing again and again, so you keep it with you.
What would it feel like to know a mistake never puts you out of reach of kindness?
