ਅਗਮੁ ਅਗੋਚਰੁ ਮਿਤਿ ਨਹੀ ਪਾਈਐ ਸਗਲ ਘਟਾ ਆਧਾਰੁ ॥
agam agochar mit nahee paa-ee-ai sagal ghataa aaDhaar.
The limits of the Inaccessible, Unfathomable Lord cannot be found; He is the Support of all hearts.
ਨਾਨਕ ਵਾਹੁ ਵਾਹੁ ਕਹੁ ਤਾ ਕਉ ਜਾ ਕਾ ਅੰਤੁ ਨ ਪਾਰੁ ॥੨॥੬੩॥੮੬॥
naanak vaahu vaahu kaho taa ka-o jaa kaa ant na paar. ||2||63||86||
O Nanak, chant, "Waaho! Waaho!" to Him, who has no end or limitation. ||2||63||86||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
You cannot measure the One who is beyond reach and beyond seeing — the quiet support underneath every heart.
Nanak says: say Waaho! Waaho! — the sound your breath makes when something takes it away — to the One who has no end and no edge.
Some things are too vast to measure — all you can do is gasp in wonder.
The One is beyond measure, and the fitting answer is wonder.
Agam agochar — beyond reach and beyond the senses — the One still holds up every heart, sagal ghataa aaDhaar. Vaahu vaahu is an exclamation of awe, the sound wonder makes, offered to the One jaa kaa ant na paar, without end or limit. Praise here is astonishment.
