ਬਰਨਿ ਨ ਸਾਕਉ ਜੈਸਾ ਤੂ ਹੈ ਸਾਚੇ ਅਲਖ ਅਪਾਰਾ ॥
baran na saaka-o jaisaa too hai saachay alakh apaaraa.
I cannot describe how You are, O True Lord, unseen, infinite,
ਅਤੁਲ ਅਥਾਹ ਅਡੋਲ ਸੁਆਮੀ ਨਾਨਕ ਖਸਮੁ ਹਮਾਰਾ ॥੪॥੫॥
atul athaah adol su-aamee naanak khasam hamaaraa. ||4||5||
immeasurable, unfathomable and unmoving Lord. O Nanak, He is my Lord and Master. ||4||5||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
I cannot describe how You are, O True One — unseen and endless,
beyond measure, beyond depth, never moving. Nanak says: You are my Master.
The One you can lean on is the One who never moves.
Baran na saaka-o — I cannot describe You; atul athaah adol — immeasurable, unfathomable, unmoving. The unshakable stillness of the One is exactly what makes it a safe place to lean.
