The Lord is Inaccessible, Infinite, Eternal and Primordial; no one knows His beginning.

The Lord is Formless, beyond hate and vengeance; there is no one else like Him.

ਭੰਜਨ ਗੜ੍ਹਣ ਸਮਥੁ ਤਰਣ ਤਾਰਣ ਪ੍ਰਭੁ ਸੋਈ ॥

He creates and destroys - He is All-powerful; God is the Boat to carry all across.

ਨਾਨਾ ਪ੍ਰਕਾਰ ਜਿਨਿ ਜਗੁ ਕੀਓ ਜਨੁ ਮਥੁਰਾ ਰਸਨਾ ਰਸੈ ॥

He created the world in its various aspects; His humble servant Mat'huraa delights in His Praises.
