tujh bin doojaa avar na ko-ee bhoolah chookah parabh tayray. ||1|| rahaa-o.
there is none other than You. Even though I wander and make mistakes, I am still Yours, God. ||1||Pause||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
O my Beloved, my Lord and Master,
there is no one else for me but You.
Even when I wander off and make mistakes, I am still Yours.
Making mistakes does not make you any less loved — you still belong.
Mistakes do not cancel belonging. The bond holds through the stumbling.
This is the rahaa-o, the "pause" line, the centre of the shabad. Bhoolah chookah prabh tayray — even if I stray and err, I am Yours.
A Question to Sit With
When you slip up, what helps you remember you are still loved?
