Please cover my faults, Lord of the Universe, O my Guru; I am a sinner - I seek the Sanctuary of Your Feet. ||1||Pause||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
You are all-powerful, the cause of all causes.
Cover my faults, Lord of the world, my Guru; I have done wrong, and I come to the shelter of Your feet.
Owning a mistake and asking for help is a kind of courage.
Owning a mistake and bringing it to the Guru takes courage.
Tumh samrathaa kaaran karan -- You are all-able, the cause of causes. Dhaakan dhaak gobid gur mayray -- cover over my faults, my Guru. Mohi apraaDhee saran charan -- I have gone wrong, and I come to the shelter of Your feet, the way a child who broke something runs straight to a parent.
A Question to Sit With
When you make a mistake, who is safe to bring it to?
