Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
One moment You are this, the next moment something new — Your ways are full of wonder, and I could watch forever.
You are beautiful and deep, further than I can reach and wider than I can measure — and that is a marvel, not a worry.
You do not have to understand the One to be amazed by the One.
Khin meh avar khinai meh avraa — one moment You are this, the next moment You are something else. Achraj chalat tumaaray — wondrous are Your ways. Think of watching clouds on a windy day. A dragon becomes a ship, and the ship becomes a castle.
Then the verse piles up words. Roorho means beautiful. Goorho means hidden and mysterious. Gahir gambheero means deep, like the deepest ocean. Oochou agam apaaray means high, out of reach, without end.
Notice the feeling. The One being too big to grasp is not a problem to be solved. It is a joy. That wonder is what Sikhs feel in Vaahiguru, "Wow, how wonderful!" Being amazed is the beginning of seeing.
When was the last time something in the world made you say "wow"?
