Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
All the world the Lord of the Universe has made stands above me. I am the lowest, lost in wrong ways.
With the Guru, my faults were wiped away. Nanak says: the One has drawn me, a humble servant, close.
However low you feel, the Guru wipes your faults away and the One draws you close.
Jaytee sarisat karee jagdeesar means "all the world the Lord of the Universe has made." Tay sabh ooch ham neech bikhi-aas means "they are all high; I am low, caught up in what harms me." It is the voice of deep humility.
Hamray avgun sang gur maytay means "with the Guru, my faults were erased," like a whiteboard wiped clean. Jan naanak mayl lee-ay prabh paas means "servant Nanak has been drawn close to the One." Guru Ram Das signs his verses as Nanak.
What is a mistake you were able to move past because someone helped you let it go?
