ਕਰਿ ਕਰਿ ਥਾਕੀ ਮੀਤ ਘਨੇਰੇ ॥
kar kar thaakee meet ghanayray.
I have grown weary of making so many friends.
ਕੋਇ ਨ ਕਾਟੈ ਅਵਗੁਣ ਮੇਰੇ ॥
ko-ay na kaatai avgun mayray.
No one can rid me of my sins and mistakes.
ਸੁਰਿ ਨਰ ਨਾਥੁ ਸਾਹਿਬੁ ਸਭਨਾ ਸਿਰਿ ਭਾਇ ਮਿਲੈ ਭਉ ਜਾਈ ਹੇ ॥੭॥
sur nar naath saahib sabhnaa sir bhaa-ay milai bha-o jaa-ee hay. ||7||
God is the Supreme Lord and Master of all the angels and mortal beings; blessed with His Love, their fear is dispelled. ||7||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
I have made so many friends, hoping one of them could help me, and I have grown tired.
No friend can take away the mistakes I carry.
But You are the gentle Master of every being, high and low, and when Your love touches me, my worry simply melts.
Some weights only love can lift, not effort or cleverness.
No friend can cut away the faults a person carries (avgun). They are things to heal, and the healing comes through love (bhaa-ay), which sends fear away.
A Question to Sit With
Who is someone whose kindness makes your worries feel lighter?
