ਆਪੇ ਹੀਰਾ ਰਤਨੁ ਅਮੋਲੋ ॥
aapay heeraa ratan amolo.
You Yourself are the priceless diamond and jewel.
ਆਪੇ ਨਦਰੀ ਤੋਲੇ ਤੋਲੋ ॥
aapay nadree tolay tolo.
In Your Mercy, You weigh with Your scale.
ਜੀਅ ਜੰਤ ਸਭਿ ਸਰਣਿ ਤੁਮਾਰੀ ਕਰਿ ਕਿਰਪਾ ਆਪਿ ਪਛਾਤਾ ਹੇ ॥੩॥
jee-a jant sabh saran tumaaree kar kirpaa aap pachhaataa hay. ||3||
All beings and creatures are under Your protection. One who is blessed by Your Grace realizes his own self. ||3||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
You Yourself are the jewel beyond any price.
With kindness You weigh each heart fairly.
Everyone is in Your care, and the one touched by grace comes to know their own true self.
The One you are looking for is itself the priceless jewel.
Aapay heeraa ratan amolo — the One is itself the priceless jewel, not merely the giver of jewels. Nadree tolay — it weighs with mercy, so the scales are kind. Grace leads to aap pachhaataa, self-realization.
