Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The One does everything — who else is there to ask? The same One is the Forgiver.
Through the Guru's teaching, the dirt washes off the heart, and then Truth becomes the finest jewel I wear.
The One does everything and forgives everything. And the Guru's Word washes the heart clean.
Aap karay kis aakhee-ai — the One does it all, so who else is there to ask? There is no one else to blame, and no one else to beg. Aapay bakhsanhaar — the same One is also the Forgiver.
Gur sabdee mail utrai — through the Guru's Word, the mail, the dirt on the heart, washes off. Taa sach bani-aa seegaar — then truth becomes your seegaar, your finest outfit and jewelry. Think of coming home muddy from a soccer game, taking a warm shower, and putting on clean clothes. You feel new. Truth lived out shines more than anything we could wear.
What's something about a person that shines brighter than how they look?
