ਸਮਸਤੁਲ ਸਲਾਮ ਹੈਂ ॥ ਸਦੈਵਲ ਅਕਾਮ ਹੈਂ ॥
समस्तुल सलाम हैं ॥ सदैवल अकाम हैं ॥
samasat-ul-salām hain ॥ sadaival akām hain ॥
You are entirely at peace ! You are forever desireless !
Guru Gobind Singh's merging of Sanskrit and Arabic in his Jāp composition is amazing

This blending of Sanskrit vocab with the Arabic definite article "al" (becoming "ul") is just incredible. Anek-ul-Tarang Hai - Describing the Divine/Universe as a vast ocean with limitless waves (forms). These lines are from Guru Gobind Singh's Jaap composition.

Guru Gobind Singh's Jaap employs a mix of Arabic and Sanskrit in this passage below as he describes the Divine Universe as a vast ocean, containing endless forms, floating some up to safety and drowning others with burden.
