Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The happiness of finally seeing You — there just aren't words for it. My mouth can't say it. You'd have to feel it to know.
The best joy of all is too big for words.
Jo sukh darsan paykhtay pi-aaray mukh tay kahan na jaa-ay — the joy of seeing You cannot be spoken by the mouth.
Guru Nanak's words come back to this idea again and again. The deepest things are bigger than language. You can describe the missing, the searching, and the ache of being apart. But the joy of the real meeting is more than any sentence can carry.
Try telling a friend exactly how a hug from your mom feels. You can point at it, but you cannot fully say it. That is not a failure of the singer. It shows how real the joy is. The most important things are often the ones we can point to but never fully put into words.
What is a feeling so big that you've never been able to fully put it into words?
