Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa

In plain words

The kind One keeps the honor of the one who serves.

Guru Nanak says it, and it is accepted in the One's court.

The One who loves you also guards your dignity.
The deeper layer

daas kee laaj rakhai miharvaan — the Merciful keeps the honor of the one who belongs to Him. gur naanak bolai dargeh parvaan — words of love welcomed in the divine court.
