Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
O thoughtful camel-mind, dwell on the One, let the Name run quietly through you. And when the day comes to account for how you've lived, don't be afraid — the One itself steps in and sets you free.
Man karhalaa veechaaree-aa — now the wandering mind is addressed as veechaaree, thoughtful, capable of reflection. The reassurance is deep: jithai laykhaa mangee-ai — "where the account is asked" (the reckoning of a life) — har aapay la-ay chhadaa-ay, "the One itself releases you." Rather than a fearful courtroom, this is framed as a promise of mercy: the One is not the prosecutor but the one who steps in to free you. The reckoning is real, but so is the grace that meets it.
Does knowing you'll be met with mercy make it easier or harder to look honestly at how you've lived?
