Japji Sahib · Pauri 37

ਗਿਆਨ ਖੰਡ ਮਹਿ ਗਿਆਨੁ ਪਰਚੰਡੁ ॥ਤਿਥੈ ਨਾਦ ਬਿਨੋਦ ਕੋਡ ਅਨੰਦੁ ॥ਸਰਮ ਖੰਡ ਕੀ ਬਾਣੀ ਰੂਪੁ ॥ਤਿਥੈ ਘਾੜਤਿ ਘੜੀਐ ਬਹੁਤੁ ਅਨੂਪੁ ॥ਤਾ ਕੀਆ ਗਲਾ ਕਥੀਆ ਨਾ ਜਾਹਿ ॥ਜੇ ਕੋ ਕਹੈ ਪਿਛੈ ਪਛੁਤਾਇ ॥ਤਿਥੈ ਘੜੀਐ ਸੁਰਤਿ ਮਤਿ ਮਨਿ ਬੁਧਿ ॥ਤਿਥੈ ਘੜੀਐ ਸੁਰਾ ਸਿਧਾ ਕੀ ਸੁਧਿ ॥੩੬॥

Gi-aan khand mahi gi-aan parchand. Tithai naad binod kod anand. Saram khand kee baanee roop. Tithai ghaarhat gharhee-ai bahut anoop. Taa kee-aa galaa kathee-aa naa jaahi. Jay ko kahai pichhai pachhutaa-ay. Tithai gharhee-ai surat mat man budh. Tithai gharhee-ai suraa sidhaa kee sudh.

In Gyan Khand, knowledge blazes overwhelmingly. There are sounds, plays, myriad delights, bliss. Saram Khand — its language is beauty. There, incomparably beautiful forms are shaped. Those things cannot be told; whoever tries, regrets after. There, awareness, intellect, mind, and discernment are shaped. There the consciousness of the celestials and the adepts is fashioned.
