Gunan da tere mull nahi anmulla ey bhandar tera; Anmulle ne gahak tere anmulla vapar tera. Teri kimat sachhe sahiba kaun bhala koi keh sakdai; Lakh Lukman Arastu hovan bhed na tera lai sakdai. Lakkhan lekh likhe ne tere granthan ved kuranan ne; Sifat karan laee zor lagaye lakkhan hi vidvanan ne. Brahma Vishnu Inder sare sifat teri pye karde ne; Teerath dan daya tap sanjam tere dar de barde ne. Boond nimani jekar chahe nahin sarovar bhar sakdi; Sari duniyan vi je chahe sifat nahin teri kar sakdi. Be-ant hai sahib mera sifat koi ki kar sakdai; Kahe avtar mile jo sadhu chhin vich khali bhar sakdai. |

O’ God, invaluable are Thy attributes and so is Thy divine treasure; Invaluable are Thy seekers and so is Thy trade. O’ True Lord, who can describe Thy worth? The mystery cannot be solved even by millions of Lukmans and Aristotles. Vedas, Qurans and other scriptures have written about Thee in millions of ways; Millions of scholars have tried hard to sing Thy praise. Brahma,Vishnu and Indra, all glorify Thee; Pilgrimages, charities and acts of kindness, penance and self-restraint are slaves at Thy divine door. A humble drop, even if it wants, cannot fill the reservoir; The whole world, even if it wants, cannot sing Thy praise. My Lord, the Almighty is infinite, how can anyone sing His praise? Avtar says, if one meets the True Saint, he can show the void filled, in a moment. |
Meaning
O’ Lord, your qualities are invaluable and so is your divine treasure. Your customers (seekers) and your trade (endowing God Knowledge) are also priceless. No one can express your real value and your mystery cannot be explained even by thousands of great minds like Lukman and Aristotle. In the past, many scriptures like Vedas and the Holy Quran have tried to describe your qualities. Millions of scholars have also tried to sing your praises. Even deities like Brahma, Vishnu and Mahesh have also sung your praises and glorified you. Acts like pilgrimages, charity, kindness, penance and self restraint are all under your command. As one drop, even if it wants cannot fill a lake; the whole world, even if willing, also cannot sing your praises. My Lord you are boundless and no one can sing your praise completely. Avtar says, if one meets the True Saint, his void will be filled in no time.
