Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
I have only one tongue — which of Your countless good gifts could I even begin to name?
You are beyond measure, beyond ending; no one has ever found where You stop.
There are too many gifts to ever name with one small tongue.
This is the Rahao, the "pause" line at the center of the shabad. jihvaa ayk kavan gun kahee-ai — I have only one tongue; which of Your gifts can I describe? On the other side is baysumaar bay-ant, the countless and the endless.
Imagine trying to thank the ocean for every wave. You would run out of words long before it ran out of waves. That is the wonder here. The thanks is bigger than any words can hold. tayro ant na kin hee lahee-ai — no one has ever found where You end.
What is something you feel so grateful for that words do not seem big enough?
