Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The One cannot be tricked or worn down or fenced in, and is higher and more beautiful than words can hold.
Turning toward such wonder, the humble live in pure delight — amazed, and lit up by beauty.
The One is a wonder too big for words.
Achhal achhayd apaar parabh — the One cannot be tricked, cannot be broken, and has no end. Facing the achraj aanoop, the wonder beyond compare, brings anand, which means deep delight.
Think of the first time you saw the ocean, or a sky full of stars. All you could say was "wow." That feeling is the Wahe in Waheguru, the gasp of wonder at the heart of Sikh praise. It is what this verse is about.
When was the last time something took your breath away with how amazing it was?
