You are wonderful! Your creative potency is amazing! ||1||Pause||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
You are wonderful! The way You make and hold everything is amazing!
Sometimes the best response to how amazing the world is, is simply: wow!
The rahao is pure vismaad — wonder: "You are wonderful! Your creative potency is amazing!" (vismaad / achraj). Sometimes the truest response to the world isn't analysis but sheer astonishment — wow. This one line is the beating heart of the shabad. For a child: sometimes the best thing to say about how amazing the world is, is simply wow!
