Bilaaval:
ਰਾਖਿ ਲੇਹੁ ਹਮ ਤੇ ਬਿਗਰੀ ॥
raakh layho ham tay bigree.
Save me! I have disobeyed You.
ਸੀਲੁ ਧਰਮੁ ਜਪੁ ਭਗਤਿ ਨ ਕੀਨੀ ਹਉ ਅਭਿਮਾਨ ਟੇਢ ਪਗਰੀ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥
seel Dharam jap bhagat na keenee ha-o abhimaan taydh pagree. ||1|| rahaa-o.
I have not practiced humility, righteousness or devotional worship; I am proud and egotistical, and I have taken a crooked path. ||1||Pause||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Keep me safe — I have stumbled.
I have not lived with humility, goodness, remembrance or devotion. My pride has led me down a crooked path.
You can come to the Kindness exactly as you are.
raakh layho ham tay bigree — "keep me, I have stumbled." seel dharam jap bhagat na keenee — the honest admission of not living the virtues. ha-o abhimaan taydh pagree — pride and the crooked step. Honest about the stumbling, coming with empty hands, and trusting all the same.
