By writing 1 (One) in the beginning, it has been shown that Ekankar, God, who subsumes all forms in Him is only one (and not two or three).

Ura, the first Gurmukhi letter, in the form of Oankar shows the world controlling power of that one Lord.

That Lord has been understood as the True-Name, Creator and the Fearless One.

He is devoid of rancour, beyond time and free from the cycle of transmigration.

Hail the Lord! His mark is truth and He shines in bright effulgent flame.

Five letters (1 Oankar) are altruists; they have in them the power of the person of the Lord.

paramaeshar sukh saar nadhar nihaaliaa||
The individual, understanding their import becomes blest with graceful glance of God who is the essence of delights.

nau Amg suMn Sumwr sMg inrwilAw]

As the numerals from one to nine adding zero with them reach to the infinite count

nIl AnIl ivcwr iprm ipAwilAw ]ñõ]
neel aneel vichaar piram piaaliaa ||aa||
The persons who quaff the cup of love from their beloved become master of infinite powers.

the "g" is added I guess because its difficult to translate a Gurmukhi sound into english.

Its definately "oua(n)kaar" ie Ongkar or Onkar NOT Omkar (unless of course if you are a Hindu)
