Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Those you give the intoxicating draught of your love drink the supreme essence.
I cannot describe their worth; what power do I have to?
This part says that people who have tasted the One's love have found something priceless.
Paraym thag-uree is the "intoxicating herb of love." It is the raag's picture of joy so full that the heart feels swept away. Think of laughing with friends until you can't stop. And notice that it is given: jin ka-o paa-ee, "those to whom You give it." That joy is grace. It is not something the seeker makes for himself.
Then comes a lovely humility. Taa kee keemat kahan na jaa-ee — I cannot describe their worth. Kudrat kavan hamaaree — what power do I have? Looking at people truly full of this love, he finds them beyond his words.
This is how one lover of the One looks at others further along. Not with envy, but with wonder at their worth. And with an honest admission that words fall short. We hear the same humility elsewhere in Jaitsree and in Raag Devgandhaari.
When you meet someone genuinely good and full of love, do you envy them or admire them? What does your response say about you?
