ਕ੍ਰਿਪਾ ਨਿਧਾਨ ਪ੍ਰੀਤਮ ਪ੍ਰਭ ਮੇਰੇ ॥

You are the treasure of mercy, O my Beloved Lord God.
ਬਰਨਿ ਨ ਸਾਕਉ ਬਹੁ ਗੁਨ ਤੇਰੇ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥
baran na saaka-o baho gun tayray. ||1|| rahaa-o.
I cannot even describe Your many Glorious Virtues. ||1||Pause||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
You are a treasure-house of mercy, my dearest One.
There is so much good in You that I could never finish naming it all.
Some goodness is too vast to fit into words.
The One is kirpaa nidhaan, the treasure-store of mercy. Baran na saaka-o: I cannot describe it. The heart overflows past the reach of words, and that overflow is itself a form of praise. Some things are too large to fit in a sentence.
This is the rahaa-o, the "pause" line, the center of the shabad.
A Question to Sit With
What is something so good you find it hard to put into words?
