Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The One gives and gives, and the storehouse never runs out.
In a single instant, the One sets things up and takes them down.
No one can erase the One's Hukam, the flow of existence.
The True One stands above the heads of kings.
The Giver never runs out, and the True One stands above even kings.
Dayday tot nahee bhandaar: the One gives and gives, and the storehouse never empties. Think of a kitchen where the pot of dal never runs dry, no matter how many guests arrive. The Giver who keeps giving is a big idea all through Gurbani.
In one moment the One sets things up and changes them. Hukam is the One's will, the way everything flows. Jaa kaa hukam na maytai ko-ay: no one can erase it. It is less like a boss shouting orders and more like the river's current that carries everything.
Sir paatisaahaa: the One is above the heads of kings. Earthly power looks big, but something truer holds even the most powerful people.
Can you think of something that gives endlessly without ever being used up?
