Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
In kindness, the One has kept safe the one who trusts.
The weight of old mistakes, gathered over so much of life, has fallen away.
Kindness keeps you safe and lets the old weight fall away.
Kar kirpaa apnay jan raakhay — in kirpaa, mercy, the One protects the one who trusts. It echoes the parent's care from the first verse.
Janam janam kay kilbikh laathay — the kilbikh, the wrongs gathered janam janam, birth after birth, have come off. The heart of this line is relief. A heavy burden is set down. Picture taking off a backpack full of rocks after a long walk.
The line joins two gifts. The One both shelters and unburdens.
What helps you feel forgiven, so a past mistake stops weighing you down?
