Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
If I gathered up millions of the most impressive things, they still would not add up to the tiniest part of You.
You are the King of kings, greater than the greatest. My words just run out; I cannot describe all Your goodness.
Guru Arjan is saying: You are so great that my words run out.
Kitee lakh karorh piree-ay rom na pujan tayri-aa means "many lakhs and crores, Beloved, don't equal one hair of Yours." A lakh is a hundred thousand, and a crore is ten million. Rom is a single hair.
Too saahee hoo saahu means "You are the King of kings." Ha-o kahi na sakaa gun tayri-aa means "I can't say all Your good qualities." Think of standing at the edge of a huge canyon, and all you can say is "wow." That is wonder so big that words can't hold it.
What is something so amazing you have struggled to put it into words?
