Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Let forgiveness and patience be my milk-cows, and let the calf of my mind drink their milk with natural ease.
I ask for clothes of modesty and praise. Nanak says: I keep singing the One's goodness.
Let patience feed your mind, and wear modesty and praise like clothing.
The meal picture goes on. Khimaa Dheeraj kar ga-oo lavayree: let forgiveness and patience be my milk-cows. Sehjay bachhraa kheer pee-ai: let the calf, my mind, drink that milk naturally. Sehjay means with ease, the calm Gurbani calls sahaj.
For clothes, Nanak asks for praise and modesty: sifat saram kaa kaprhaa maaNga-o. Har gun naanak ravat rahai: Nanak keeps singing the One's goodness. So singing here becomes food and clothing for the soul. It is like a favorite sweater on a cold day, warm and always there.
What is one quality you would like to wear every day, the way you put on clothes?
