Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
How wondrous, how amazing the One is -- the One and only. And how rare the person, turned toward the teaching, who actually keeps it in mind.
The One is wonderful and one of a kind, yet few people stop to think about it.
This is the Rahao, the "pause" line at the center of the shabad. It is pure wonder. Ayk achraj ayko hai so-ee — the One is amazing, the One and only. Achraj means a wonder.
Then a quieter note. Gurmukh veechaaray virlaa ko-ee — rare is the gurmukh who reflects on it. A gurmukh is someone turned toward the Guru's teaching. Think of a sky full of stars over every house, while most people are looking at their phones. The wonder is free for everyone. Paying attention to it is rare.
What amazing thing is right in front of you that you usually walk past?
