Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Each of us is handed a good and worthy work to do, right from the start.
When I understand the flow of life and move with it, I stay at ease within it. And the One, so generous, wipes away what has gone wrong: how great that kindness is.
You have been given good work; do it in step with the flow of life.
Sir kaar, the appointed task, is given dhur, from the origin. Laalai hukam pachhaaniaa: recognizing the hukam, the flow of existence, and living in rajaaee, harmony. Aapay meeraa bakhas la-e: grace forgives.
