Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa

In plain words

The True One's justice is true, and Your place stands true forever.

Your creative power is true, Your Word is true — and the peace You give is true too, my Master.

Fairness and peace both come from the True One.
The deeper layer

sach tapaavas — the justice of the True One, a fairness that holds. sachee kudrat (true creative power) and sachee banee (the true Word) are named together with sach... sukh — the true, lasting peace the One gives.

A Question to Sit With

What does fairness look like to you?
