ਆਪੇ ਹੀ ਪ੍ਰਭੁ ਰਾਖਤਾ ਭਗਤਨ ਕੀ ਆਨਿ ॥
aapay hee parabh raakh-taa bhagtan kee aan.
God Himself saves the honor of His devotees.
ਜੋ ਜੋ ਚਿਤਵਹਿ ਸਾਧ ਜਨ ਸੋ ਲੇਤਾ ਮਾਨਿ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥
jo jo chitvahi saaDh jan so laytaa maan. ||1|| rahaa-o.
Whatever God's Holy servants wish for, He grants to them. ||1||Pause||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
God Himself keeps the honour of those who love God.
Whatever God's holy people wish for, God grants it.
A heart aligned with the One is quietly given what it longs for.
aapay hee prabh raakh-taa, bhagtan kee aan — the One guards the dignity of those who love; jo jo chitvahi... so laytaa maan — what such a heart wishes for is granted.
This is the Rahao, the "pause" line, the centre the whole shabad turns around.
A Question to Sit With
