ਐਸਾ ਨਾਮੁ ਨਿਰੰਜਨ ਦੇਉ ॥
aisaa naam niranjan day-o.
Such is the Name of the Immaculate, Divine Lord.
ਹਉ ਜਾਚਿਕੁ ਤੂ ਅਲਖ ਅਭੇਉ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥
ha-o jaachik too alakh abhay-o. ||1|| rahaa-o.
I am just a beggar; You are invisible and unknowable. ||1||Pause||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Such is the Naam of the pure, shining One.
I come with open, empty hands; You are beyond seeing, beyond knowing.
You can hold the Name with open hands and never come to the end of it.
aisaa naam niranjan day-o: such is the Name of the spotless, luminous One (niranjan: unstained, beyond the smudge of illusion). ha-o jaachik: I am one who asks, with open, empty hands, small and unashamed. too alakh abhay-o: You are imperceptible and unfathomable. Two poles meet here: a Name I can hold, and a reality I can never exhaust.
A Question to Sit With
What is something you love that you keep discovering more of, never reaching the bottom?
