One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:
ਨਰਨਰਹ ਨਮਸਕਾਰੰ ॥

jalan thalan basuDh gagan ayk aykaNkaaraN. ||1|| rahaa-o.
The One, the One and Only Creator Lord permeates the water, the land, the earth and the sky. ||1||Pause||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
There is only One. And the One is found by the True Guru's grace — a gift that is always here, waiting for an open heart.
I bow low to the One, the highest Being of all.
The One and Only fills the water, the land, the earth, and the sky — everywhere, all at once.
The One fills every corner of the world, with nowhere left out.
Jalan thalan basudh gagan: water, land, earth, sky. The whole world is named in a breath, and the One fills every part of it. There is nowhere the One is not.
This shabad is a Partaal, a form sung to shifting rhythms, and this is its rahaa-o, the "pause" line at the centre, compact and grand.
