Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Kabir says: listen, holy people, settle your account right here in the field.
Forgive Your servant now, in this life, so I do not return to the frightening sea of the world.
You can set things right now, in this life.
Kahai kabeer sunhu ray santahu — Kabir says, listen, holy people. Khayt hee karahu nibayraa — settle your accounts right here in the field. The field is this life, right where you stand.
Ab kee baar bakhas banday ka-o — this time, forgive Your servant. It asks for grace in this very life. Bahur na bha-ojal fayraa — so there is no going round again in the frightening world-ocean.
Think of making up with a friend the same day, before bedtime. You do not carry the fight into tomorrow. Forgiveness is ready today. Nobody has to keep going in circles.
Is there something you could gently set right today rather than carrying it any longer?
