Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Your goodness is beyond reach and beyond knowing; how can my one poor tongue describe it? O my Beloved, Raam, Raam, Raam, Raam.
O dear One, You, You, You alone know Your own untold story. Meditating on the One, I am filled with joy, joy, joy.
The One is too great to describe, but trying to sing that greatness fills you with joy.
Listen to how the words repeat: raam raam raam raam, nihaal nihaal nihaal. The shifting rhythm of this song doubles and triples its words. The praise is spilling over, like a glass filled past the brim.
Ayk jeeh: one tongue, far too small for the job. Akath kathaa: the story that can never be fully told. It is like trying to describe the ocean to a friend. You never finish, but you love talking about it. Nihaal means lit up with joy. The joy is in the trying.
What is something so wonderful you could never fully describe it, but love to try?
