ਓਅੰਕਾਰਿ ਏਕੋ ਰਵਿ ਰਹਿਆ ਸਭੁ ਏਕਸ ਮਾਹਿ ਸਮਾਵੈਗੋ ॥
o-ankaar ayko rav rahi-aa sabh aykas maahi samaavaigo.
The One and Only Creator of the Universe is All-pervading everywhere. All shall once again merge into the One.
ਏਕੋ ਰੂਪੁ ਏਕੋ ਬਹੁ ਰੰਗੀ ਸਭੁ ਏਕਤੁ ਬਚਨਿ ਚਲਾਵੈਗੋ ॥੪॥
ayko roop ayko baho rangee sabh aykat bachan chalaavaigo. ||4||
His One Form has one, and many colors; He leads all according to His One Word. ||4||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The One Creator is spread through everything, and all of it merges back into the One.
The One has one form, and the One wears many colors. The One moves everything by a single Word.
Everything you see is one light wearing countless colors.
Everything is one light wearing countless colors, and all of it returns to the One.
O-ankaar ayko rav rahi-aa: the One Creator fills everything. Ayko roop ayko baho rangee: one form, many colors, like sunlight through a prism, one beam and a whole rainbow. Aykat bachan: one Word, one command, moving it all.
