ਕਰਿ ਬੇਨਤੀ ਜਨ ਧੂਰਿ ਬਾਛਾਹਾ ॥
kar bayntee jan Dhoor baachhaahaa.
I pray for the dust of the feet of the humble.
ਜਨਮ ਜਨਮ ਕੇ ਕਿਲਵਿਖ ਲਾਹਾਂ ॥੨॥
janam janam kay kilvikh laahaaN. ||2||
It shall wash away the sins of countless incarnations. ||2||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
I ask, humbly, just to sit at the feet of good people and learn.
Being near them has a way of washing off old mistakes, the way rain rinses dust from leaves.
Humble time near good people quietly rinses the old dust away.
kar bayntee jan Dhoor baachhaahaa — praying for the dhoor (dust) of the humble. janam janam kay kilvikh laahaaN — washing away kilvikh (faults) of many lives. Humility as cleansing.
