ਸੁੰਨਹੁ ਚੰਦੁ ਸੂਰਜੁ ਗੈਣਾਰੇ ॥
sunnahu chand sooraj gainaaray.
From this Primal Void, came the moon, the sun and the earth.
ਤਿਸ ਕੀ ਜੋਤਿ ਤ੍ਰਿਭਵਣ ਸਾਰੇ ॥
tis kee jot taribhavan saaray.
His Light pervades all the three worlds.
ਸੁੰਨੇ ਅਲਖ ਅਪਾਰ ਨਿਰਾਲਮੁ ਸੁੰਨੇ ਤਾੜੀ ਲਾਇਦਾ ॥੫॥
sunnay alakh apaar niraalam sunnay taarhee laa-idaa. ||5||
The Lord of this Primal Void is unseen, infinite and immaculate; He is absorbed in the Primal Trance of Deep Meditation. ||5||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Out of the stillness came the moon, the sun, and the earth.
The One's light shines through every world.
The One at the heart of the stillness is unseen, endless, and spotless, resting in the deepest calm.
The light in sun and moon comes from the unseen One.
'Sunnay taarhee laaidaa': the One is absorbed in the primal trance even as it creates. Sun, moon and earth are all lit by its unseen light.
