Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
This wonder cannot be put into words — only the one who has tasted it truly knows. Truth has dawned inside me and my heart blossoms; the teaching gave me this treasure, and I hold it safe within.
Some wonders are too big for words. You can only taste them.
Kahi-o na jaa-ee ayhu achambha-o so jaanai jin chaakhi-aa — this wonder cannot be told; only the one who has tasted it knows. Gurbani often says the deepest things are beyond words. They are known only by living them. You cannot explain the taste of a mango to someone who has never eaten one.
Sach bha-ay bigaasaa — truth dawned, and I blossomed. Sach is the Truth. Bigaas is blossoming, like a flower opening in the morning. The real and the heart's flowering arrive together.
The treasure found "within" in the pause line is now kept safe: ridai lai raakhi-aa, held in the heart.
What is something so wonderful you've felt that words couldn't quite capture it?
