Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
I couldn't begin to describe all Your wonders — You who hold every good thing, You who give peace.
You are beyond my reach, beyond my full understanding, never-fading — and yet through the true Teacher, I have truly come to know You.
Baran na saaka-o tumray rangaa — 'I cannot describe Your play of colors / your wonders.' The One is gun nidhaan (treasure of virtues), sukh-daatay (giver of peace). Then the great names: agam agochar... abhinaasee — unreachable, imperceptible, imperishable. And yet — the crucial turn — pooray gur tay jaatay: through the perfect Teacher the unknowable becomes known. The paradox of the whole shabad again: the One is beyond words and beyond grasp, yet genuinely met and known through the living teaching. Vastness and intimacy reconciled.
Have you ever known something deeply — a feeling, a bond — that you couldn't fully put into words?
