This is a devotee's earnest prayer at the Lord's feet. When he looks at his shortcomings and misdeeds, he feels that God, from whom nothing can be kept hidden, will not forgive him. He shrinks at the idea of paying for his evil actions, knowing that the retribution must be long and heavy. In all humility he surrenders himself at the feet of the Almighty and prays to be forgiven.

Lord, Thou art my father.
Pay heed to my humble prayer.
Many misdeeds have I done,
Deeds I kept concealed from others
But which are no secret to Thee.
Lust and desires corrupted my mind,
And many a wrong have I done;
I look at them and my heart shudders
With fear and shame.
Almighty Lord, I implore Thee
Concede my prayer:
First, grant me Thy pardon,
Then ask me to reckon
For my misdeeds.

Says Kabir: Mighty Lord!
Thou art my father;
I have now taken the refuge
Of Thy lotus feet.
Pray grant me Thy pardon,
Then ask me to reckon
For my sins.

Kabir Granthavali ¹, p. 156:357
