The Feet of my Lord and Master are so Beautiful!
ਹਰਿ ਸੰਤਨ ਪਾਵੇ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥
har santan paavay. ||1|| rahaa-o.
The Lord's Saints obtain them. ||1||Pause||

Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa

In plain words

The Feet of my Master are so beautiful!

The Saints obtain them.

Love beholding the Beloved bursts out simply: how beautiful!
The deeper layer

The Pause is pure delight: "the Feet of my Lord and Master are so Beautiful!" — the spontaneous cry of love beholding the Beloved. And "the Lord's Saints obtain them": this beauty is given to those who love it.

A Question to Sit With

When has something you love made you simply exclaim at its beauty?
