ਊਚੇ ਤੇ ਊਚਾ ਦਰਬਾਰਾ ॥
oochay tay oochaa darbaaraa.
The Lord's Court is the highest of the high.
ਕਹਣੁ ਨ ਜਾਈ ਅੰਤੁ ਨ ਪਾਰਾ ॥
kahan na jaa-ee ant na paaraa.
His limit and extent cannot be described.
ਗਹਿਰ ਗੰਭੀਰ ਅਥਾਹ ਸੁਆਮੀ ਅਤੁਲੁ ਨ ਜਾਈ ਕਿਆ ਮਿਨਾ ॥੧੩॥
gahir gambheer athaah su-aamee atul na jaa-ee ki-aa minaa. ||13||
The Lord and Master is profoundly deep, unfathomable and unweighable; how can He be measured? ||13||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The One's presence is the highest of the high.
No one can describe where it ends, because it does not.
Deep, still, and boundless — how could anyone ever weigh or measure such a One?
The One is deep and boundless — beyond anything you could weigh or measure.
The One's darbaar, its presence, is the highest of the high; its limit cannot be told, for it has none. Gahir gambheer athaah — deep, profound, unfathomable — and atul, unweighable. Measuring such a One is beyond the question; there is only wonder.
A Question to Sit With
What is something so big or deep that trying to measure it feels almost funny?
