It is my nature to make mistakes, forever and ever; it is Your Natural Way to save sinners.
ਕਰੁਣਾ ਮੈ ਕਿਰਪਾਲ ਕ੍ਰਿਪਾ ਨਿਧਿ ਜੀਵਨ ਪਦ ਨਾਨਕ ਹਰਿ ਦਰਸਨ ॥੨॥੨॥੧੧੮॥

You are the embodiment of kindness, and the treasure of compassion, O Merciful Lord; through the Blessed Vision of Your Darshan, Nanak has found the state of redemption in life. ||2||2||118||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
It is my nature to slip and stumble, again and again; it is Your nature to lift up the one who has fallen.
You are kindness itself, a treasure of care. Nanak says: in one glimpse of You, God, life comes fully alive.
Stumbling is human; being lifted up again is grace's nature.
Hamro sahaa-o sadaa sad bhoolan, tumhro birad patit uDhran -- our nature to err, the One's nature (birad, settled character) to raise up the fallen. Karunaa mai -- made of compassion. Jeevan pad -- the state of being fully alive. Closes at ||118||.
