ਏਕੋ ਗਿਆਨੁ ਧਿਆਨੁ ਧੁਨਿ ਬਾਣੀ ॥
ayko gi-aan Dhi-aan Dhun banee.
Spiritual wisdom and meditation are contained in the melody of the Bani, the Word of the One Lord.
ਏਕੁ ਨਿਰਾਲਮੁ ਅਕਥ ਕਹਾਣੀ ॥
ayk niraalam akath kahaanee.
The One Lord is Untouched and Unstained; His story is unspoken.
ਏਕੋ ਸਬਦੁ ਸਚਾ ਨੀਸਾਣੁ ॥
ayko sabad sachaa neesaan.
The Shabad, the Word, is the Insignia of the One True Lord.
ਪੂਰੇ ਗੁਰ ਤੇ ਜਾਣੈ ਜਾਣੁ ॥੩॥
pooray gur tay jaanai jaan. ||3||
Through the Perfect Guru, the Knowing Lord is known. ||3||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
All wisdom and all meditation live in the music of the One's Word.
The One is untouched and spotless; the One's story cannot be told.
The Word is the true mark of the One.
Through the Perfect Guru, the One who knows all is known.
The Word is the One's true signature, and through it the One becomes known.
The One is beyond telling, yet the Word is the One's true mark, and through the Perfect Guru the One is known.
Eko giaan dhiaan dhun banee — wisdom and meditation live in the melody of the Word. Eko sabad sachaa neesaan: the Word is the One's true insignia. The One is akath (beyond telling), yet knowable through the perfect Guru.
