Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa

In plain words

The One deeply loves those who love it, like a dearest friend.

My Master lifts up everyone, leaving no one out. Remembering the Name, every wish is filled. Nanak says: the One has kept the honor of this servant safe.

The Beloved leaves no one out of the saving.
The deeper layer

bhagat janaa kaa preetam piaaraa — the Beloved of the devotees. sabhai udhaaran — the savior of all, leaving no one out. paij rakhaaee — honor kept safe. Grace, belonging, and every wish filled through simran.

A Question to Sit With

What does it mean to you that everyone is included?
