A heart that longs for a glimpse lights up wherever the One is praised — and sees that same One shining in every heart.
The Arc
P0 (rahau merged with verse 1) is longing turned to joy: the mind yearns for a glimpse, asks for good company and the Name, and lights up wherever praise is heard — Your place is incomparably beautiful. P1 widens to the One who cherishes all beings, whose shade covers everyone, and who can be beheld in each and every heart.

Themes and Cross-Connections
The closing ghat ghat tujheh dikhaa-o — I behold You in every heart — is the raag's clearest sounding of Ik Onkar: one reality in all beings, so that truly seeing others is a way of seeing the One.
