simrahi khaanee simrahi banee simrahi saglay har janaa. ||2||
The sources of creation and speech meditate in remembrance; all the Lord's humble servants meditate in remembrance. ||2||

Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa

In plain words

Every land, every island, every world holds You in mind.

The deep places and far spheres remember the True One.

The very sources that life springs from, and speech itself, remember You — and so do all who love You.

From the deepest places to every world, all of it remembers the One.
The deeper layer

The litany widens: continents, islands, and worlds; the deep places and far spheres; the khaanee, the sources that life springs from, and banee, speech itself — all remember the True One, along with all the har jan, those who love the One. Nothing is left outside the remembrance.

A Question to Sit With

What is the biggest thing you can imagine — and the smallest — both held by the same One?
