Translation:
Limitless his praises, limitless those who speak them
Limitless his workings and his givings.
Endless are the sounds and sights,
Limitless the mysteries of his mind.
Endless the creation it's expanse, here and beyond.
Countless struggle to find his limit; it cannot be found.
Nobody knows the end; the more is said, the more to say.
Great is the Lord, high his abode.
His Name the highest of the high.
One must gain those heights to know,
He himself knows how vast he is, O Nanak
It is his gracious glance, that can raise a man
So high.
More Information:The twenty fourth pauree breaks through all limitations with the force of a thunderbolt. It is so powerful that it affects generations; it has the power to kill misfortune.
Translation is from Matamandir Singh's recording of this pauree,
