Japji Sahib · Pauri 32

ਆਸਣੁ ਲੋਇ ਲੋਇ ਭੰਡਾਰ ॥ਜੋ ਕਿਛੁ ਪਾਇਆ ਸੁ ਏਕਾ ਵਾਰ ॥ਕਰਿ ਕਰਿ ਵੇਖੈ ਸਿਰਜਣਹਾਰੁ ॥ਨਾਨਕ ਸਚੇ ਕੀ ਸਾਚੀ ਕਾਰ ॥ਆਦੇਸੁ ਤਿਸੈ ਆਦੇਸੁ ॥ਆਦਿ ਅਨੀਲੁ ਅਨਾਦਿ ਅਨਾਹਤਿ ਜੁਗੁ ਜੁਗੁ ਏਕੋ ਵੇਸੁ ॥੩੧॥

Aasan lo-ay lo-ay bhandaar. Jo kichh paa-i-aa so aykaa vaar. Kar kar vaykhai sirjanhaar. Nanak sachay kee saachee kaar. Aadays tisai aadays. Aad aneel anaad anaahat jug jug ayko vays.

His seat is in world upon world; His treasures fill every realm. Whatever was placed in them was placed in one stroke. Having created, the Creator watches. Nanak says — the True One's work is the only true work. Salutation, salutation to that One — primal, pure, without beginning, indestructible, in every age the same Form.
