ਕਿਆ ਸਾਲਾਹੀ ਅਗਮ ਅਪਾਰੈ ॥
ki-aa saalaahee agam apaarai.
How can I praise the inaccessible, infinite Lord?
ਸਾਚੇ ਸਿਰਜਣਹਾਰ ਮੁਰਾਰੈ ॥
saachay sirjanhaar muraarai.
The True Creator Lord is the Enemy of ego.
ਜਿਸ ਨੋ ਨਦਰਿ ਕਰੇ ਤਿਸੁ ਮੇਲੇ ਮੇਲਿ ਮਿਲੈ ਮੇਲਾਈ ਹੇ ॥੧੩॥
jis no nadar karay tis maylay mayl milai maylaa-ee hay. ||13||
He unites those whom He blesses with His Grace; uniting them in His Union, they are united. ||13||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
How could my small words ever praise someone so vast and beyond all reach?
You are the true Maker, the One before whom pride simply dissolves.
When Your kindness falls on me, You draw me close and make me one with You.
My praise will always be too small, and that is fine; grace does the rest.
The name Muraari (usually understood as slayer of ego) is rendered as the One before whom pride dissolves. Praise is shown as necessarily incomplete, and union comes by grace (nadar), not by achievement.
