ਤੇਰੇ ਨਾਮ ਅਨੇਕ ਕੀਮਤਿ ਨਹੀ ਪਾਈ ॥
tayray naam anayk keemat nahee paa-ee.
Your Names are countless; Your value cannot be estimated.
ਸਚੁ ਨਾਮੁ ਹਰਿ ਹਿਰਦੈ ਵਸਾਈ ॥
sach naam har hirdai vasaa-ee.
I enshrine the Lord's True Name within my heart.
ਕੀਮਤਿ ਕਉਣੁ ਕਰੇ ਪ੍ਰਭ ਤੇਰੀ ਤੂ ਆਪੇ ਸਹਜਿ ਸਮਾਇਆ ॥੮॥
keemat ka-un karay parabh tayree too aapay sahj samaa-i-aa. ||8||
Who can estimate Your value, God? You are immersed and absorbed in Yourself. ||8||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
You have countless names, and no one could ever measure Your worth. I keep Your True Name safe in my heart.
Who could ever add You up? You rest, complete, absorbed in Your own self.
The One has countless names and one immeasurable wonder behind them all.
The One has countless names (naam anayk) and immeasurable worth — all of them pointing to the same One. The One is sahj samaa-i-aa: absorbed and complete in itself, beyond all our reckoning.
A Question to Sit With
What are some of the different names people use for the same great mystery?
