ਸਗਲ ਪਰਾਧ ਦੇਹਿ ਲੋਰੋਨੀ ॥
sagal paraaDh deh loronee.
You sing lullabies to your stone god - this is the source of all your mistakes.
ਸੋ ਮੁਖੁ ਜਲਉ ਜਿਤੁ ਕਹਹਿ ਠਾਕੁਰੁ ਜੋਨੀ ॥੩॥
so mukh jala-o jit kaheh thaakur jonee. ||3||
Let that mouth be burnt, which says that our Lord and Master is subject to birth. ||3||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
You sing lullabies to an image made of stone, and this is the root of all your mistakes.
Shame on the mouth that says our Lord and Master is born — let those words burn away.
It's kinder to the truth to let the One stay as limitless as the One is.
Calling the boundless Master someone who is born is the root of many mistakes.
Loronee are lullabies, the soft songs sung to rock a baby to sleep. So mukh jala-o: let that mouth burn. It is a very strong old way of saying "these words are deeply wrong," a wish for the words to end, never a wish to hurt anyone. Shrinking the boundless One to fit one small story misses how vast the One is.
