Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Listen, you saints, to the wonder of the One I love. I sing of it as best I can, though it is far beyond my small words.
It is beyond all measuring, the great Giver of everything, the highest of the high.
Listen, saints: here is praise of the One, as well as I can give it, though the One is beyond all measure.
Upmaa sunhu means "listen to the praise." Kahat jayt paahoochaa means "I say as much as I can reach." It is an honest, humble admission. Words fall short of the One who is baysumaar, beyond measuring.
Vad saah daataaraa means the great King and Giver. Oochay hee tay oochaa means higher than the highest.
Think of a child stretching up on tiptoe to touch the top of a doorframe. The child reaches with all their heart and doesn't pretend to have arrived. That is the awe here.
What have you tried to describe to a friend that was almost too good for words?
