Aasaa, Fifth Mehl:
ਅਪੁਨੇ ਸੇਵਕ ਕੀ ਆਪੇ ਰਾਖੈ ਆਪੇ ਨਾਮੁ ਜਪਾਵੈ ॥
apunay sayvak kee aapay raakhai aapay naam japaavai.
He Himself preserves His servants; He causes them to chant His Name.
ਜਹ ਜਹ ਕਾਜ ਕਿਰਤਿ ਸੇਵਕ ਕੀ ਤਹਾ ਤਹਾ ਉਠਿ ਧਾਵੈ ॥੧॥
jah jah kaaj kirat sayvak kee tahaa tahaa uth Dhaavai. ||1||
Wherever the business and affairs of His servants are, there the Lord hurries to be. ||1||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
He Himself preserves His servants and causes them to chant His Name.
Wherever the affairs of His servants are, there the Lord hurries to be.
The One doesn't wait to be called — it hurries to be wherever its servant is.
A tender image of the One's eagerness: "wherever the business and affairs of His servants are, there the Lord hurries to be." The One does not wait to be summoned; He rushes to His devotee's side wherever they are. Love that hurries.
