ਰੰਕ ਤੇ ਰਾਉ ਕਰਤ ਖਿਨ ਭੀਤਰਿ ਪ੍ਰਭੁ ਮੇਰੋ ਅਨਾਥ ਕੋ ਨਾਥ ॥
rank tay raa-o karat khin bheetar parabh mayro anaath ko naath.
In an instant, You transform the beggar into a king; O my God, You are the Master of the masterless.
ਜਲਤ ਅਗਨਿ ਮਹਿ ਜਨ ਆਪਿ ਉਧਾਰੇ ਕਰਿ ਅਪੁਨੇ ਦੇ ਰਾਖੇ ਹਾਥ ॥੧॥
jalat agan meh jan aap uDhaaray kar apunay day raakhay haath. ||1||
You save Your humble servants from the burning fire; You make them Your own, and with Your Hand, You protect them. ||1||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
In a single moment You can turn someone who has nothing into someone rich beyond counting; You are the shelter for anyone who feels they have no one.
When trouble burns all around, You reach out Your hand and lift Your own to safety.
No situation is too low for kindness to reach in and lift.
rank tay raa-o -- beggar made king in an instant; anaath ko naath -- the master of the masterless, shelter for the unsheltered. jalat agan meh -- the burning around us carried as hard trouble, from which the One lifts by the hand. Sudden, complete turnaround.
