Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Such is my Master, the Lord of the Universe.
I cannot describe how far the One's good qualities spread.
The One is so full of wonders that words run out long before the wonders do.
This is the rahaa-o, the "pause" line, the centre of the shabad. All the millions in the other verses lean on it.
aiso Dhanee guvind hamaaraa — such is my Master, the One who cares for the whole universe. baran na saaka-o gun bisthaaraa — I cannot describe how far the good qualities spread.
So all that counting turns into a happy confession. The wonders cannot be counted. It is like trying to count the drops in a waterfall. You laugh and give up. The opening shabad of this raag has the same wonder, the kind that leaves you without words.
What is something so amazing that you run out of words trying to describe it?
