ਆਪੇ ਘਟਿ ਘਟਿ ਰਹਿਆ ਬਿਆਪਿ ॥
aapay ghat ghat rahi-aa bi-aap.
The Lord Himself is pervading in each and every heart.
ਦਇਆਲ ਪੁਰਖ ਪਰਗਟ ਪਰਤਾਪ ॥
da-i-aal purakh pargat partaap.
The glory of the Merciful Lord is radiant and manifest.
ਕਪਟ ਖੁਲਾਨੇ ਭ੍ਰਮ ਨਾਠੇ ਦੂਰੇ ॥
kapat khulaanay bharam naathay dooray.
The shutters are opened, and doubts have run away.
ਨਾਨਕ ਕਉ ਗੁਰ ਭੇਟੇ ਪੂਰੇ ॥੪॥੧੪॥੨੫॥
naanak ka-o gur bhaytay pooray. ||4||14||25||
Nanak has met with the Perfect Guru. ||4||14||25||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The One is present inside every single heart.
The glory of the Merciful shines out in plain view.
The shutters have swung open, and doubts have run far away.
Nanak says: I have met the Perfect Guru.
When the shutters open, doubt has nowhere to hide.
Ghat ghat rahi-aa bi-aap, pervading each heart, is Ik Onkar again. Kapat khulaanay bharam naathay: the shutters open and doubts flee, a drawn curtain thrown wide.
