Assi khate bahut kamavde kich antt na paravaar – Shalok Varaan Tey Vadheek – Ang 1416

Shalok Varaan Tey Vadheek

SGGS Ji Ang 1416

This is Slok 29 by Guru Amardas Ji in Slok Vaaran te Vadheek. (Ang 1416).

It is the nature of mortals to commit mistakes and sins. Each sinful act results in lekhas. Lekhas are known as “khate” in Punjabi from the word “khata” meaning entry in a register.
These khate (lekhas) cannot be erased by any method or means, besides Naam. Naam is loving remembrance of God’s Attributes, His Glory, His Kindness, His “sifatt salaah”.

In this Slok, Guru Ji says Lord, we commit countless mistakes. We have sinned terribly.
Please bless us with Your Mercy.

“Assi khate bahut kamavde kich antt na paravaar; Har kirpa kar ke baksh leho hao paapi vadh gunahgaar.”

The load of my sins is so huge, that if I were to stand in line to be forgiven, my turn would never come. Please bless me, erase my sins and Unite me with Yourself.

“Har Jio lekhe vaar na aavahi Tu Baksh milavanhar.”

The Guru gives His Grace.

“Gur thuthe Har Prabh meliya sabh kilvikh katt vikaar.”

Humble Nanak Sings the Victory of those who have meditated upon the Lord’s Name.

“Jinna Har Har Naam dhiaaiaya Jan Nanak tinnh jaikaar.”
