ਪਉੜੀ ੭

paurree 7

ਓਅੰਕਾਰਿ ਅਕਾਰੁ ਕਰਿ ਥਿਤਿ ਵਾਰੁ ਨ ਮਾਹੁ ਜਣਾਇਆ ।

oankaar akaar kar thit vaar na maahu janaaeaa |

About the day and month of the creation, the Creator has told nothing to anybody.

ਨਿਰੰਕਾਰੁ ਆਕਾਰੁ ਵਿਣੁ ਏਕੰਕਾਰ ਨ ਅਲਖੁ ਲਖਾਇਆ ।

nirankaar aakaar vin ekankaar na alakh lakhaaeaa |

The Formless One who resided in His own self did not make anybody see His imperceptible form.

ਆਪੇ ਆਪਿ ਉਪਾਇ ਕੈ ਆਪੇ ਅਪਣਾ ਨਾਉ ਧਰਾਇਆ ।

aape aap upaae kai aape apanaa naau dharaaeaa |

Himself He created all and Himself He (for the weal of creatures) established His name in their hearts.

ਆਦਿ ਪੁਰਖੁ ਆਦੇਸੁ ਹੈ ਹੈ ਭੀ ਹੋਸੀ ਹੋਂਦਾ ਆਇਆ ।

aad purakh aades hai hai bhee hosee hondaa aaeaa |

I bow before that primal Lord, who is there in the present, who will remain in the future and who was in the beginning as well.

ਆਦਿ ਨ ਅੰਤੁ ਬਿਅੰਤੁ ਹੈ ਆਪੇ ਆਪਿ ਨ ਆਪੁ ਗਣਾਇਆ ।

aad na ant biant hai aape aap na aap ganaaeaa |

He is beyond beginning, beyond end and is infinite; but He never makes Himself noticed.

ਆਪੇ ਆਪੁ ਉਪਾਇ ਸਮਾਇਆ ।੭।

aape aap upaae samaaeaa |7|

He created the world and Himself subsumes it in His self.
