Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The saints of the One are good; the devotees who please the One are the finest of all.
Nanak says: whoever the One stands beside, the One keeps their honor safe.
The One stands beside those whose love is true.
The verse calls them sant bhalay and bhagat bhalay, the good saints and good devotees. They are the ones who please the One.
"Jin kaa ang karai" means those whose side the One takes. "Paij savaaree" means their honor is kept safe.
Think of a coach who always has your back, even on a bad day. You do not have to prove yourself to keep that care. Guru Ram Das ends with that picture: the One is on the side of true love.
What does it feel like to know someone is on your side?
