Sikhism·Raag Raamkalee·Shabad 103
Verse 8 of 9

No One Can Set Your Price

ਕੀਮਤਿ ਕਉਣੁ ਕਰੇ ਤੇਰੀ ਕਰਤੇ ਪ੍ਰਭ ਅੰਤੁ ਨ ਪਾਰਾਵਾਰੀ ॥੭॥
keemat ka-un karay tayree kartay parabh ant na paaraavaaree. ||7||
Who can estimate Your value, O Creator Lord? God has no end or limitation. ||7||

Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa

In plain words

Who could ever put a price on You, O Maker?

You have no end, no far shore, no limit anywhere.

No one can put a price on the One, who has no end.
The deeper layer

Keemat ka-un karay tayree — who can appraise You? Ant na paaraavaaree — no end, no far bank. No one can answer; the question is wonder in the shape of a question. Some things are precious precisely because no measure reaches them.

A Question to Sit With

What is something whose worth you could never put into numbers?
