ਕੀਮਤਿ ਕਾਗਦ ਕਹੀ ਨ ਜਾਈ ॥
keemat kaagad kahee na jaa-ee.
His value cannot be described on paper.
ਕਹੁ ਨਾਨਕ ਬੇਅੰਤ ਗੁਸਾਈ ॥
kaho naanak bay-ant gusaa-ee.
Says Nanak, the Lord of the world is infinite.
ਆਦਿ ਮਧਿ ਅੰਤਿ ਪ੍ਰਭੁ ਸੋਈ ਹਾਥਿ ਤਿਸੈ ਕੈ ਨੇਬੇੜਾ ॥੧੫॥
aad maDh ant parabh so-ee haath tisai kai naybayrhaa. ||15||
In the beginning, in the middle and in the end, God exists. Judgement is in His Hands alone. ||15||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
No sheet of paper could ever hold what You are worth.
Nanak says, the Keeper of the world has no edges at all.
In the beginning, the middle, and the end, the One is there, and the final word is in those hands alone.
Some things are too big to write down; you can only trust them.
No page is big enough for the One. 'Keemat kaagad kahee na jaaee': no paper can hold His worth. Beginning, middle and end, 'haath tisai kai naybayrhaa', the final word rests in the One's hands.
A Question to Sit With
What is something you trust even though you cannot fully explain it?
