Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
A true request, a true prayer — the One hears it within the house of its own presence, and welcomes it.
It calls the truthful to its side
and crowns them with honor; whatever it wills comes to pass.
This one says a true prayer is welcomed with delight.
Sachaa araj sachee ardaas — a true request, a true prayer. Ardaas means a prayer from the heart. The One doesn't just hear it. Khasam sunay saabaas — the Master hears and says, "Well done!" It is like a coach cheering when you give your honest best.
Sachai takhat bulaavai so-ay — the One calls the truthful to the True Throne and honors them. The honor flows from the One's will: karay so ho-ay, whatever He does comes to pass. It isn't won by clever bargaining. The honor is given, never taken.
What would it mean to pray (or speak) so honestly that you would not mind it being overheard?
