hamaaree pi-aaree amrit Dhaaree gur nimakh na man tay taaree ray. ||1|| rahaa-o.
My Beloved has brought forth a river of nectar. The Guru has not held it back from my mind, even for an instant. ||1||Pause||

Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa

In plain words

My Beloved has brought forth a river of nectar.

The Guru has not held it back from my mind, even for an instant.

Grace flows like a river of nectar — not rationed, but freely poured.
The deeper layer

The Beloved "has brought forth a river of nectar" — not a trickle but a river, abundant and flowing. And the Guru "has not held it back... even for an instant": grace is not rationed but freely poured. The Nectar flows continually to the open mind.

A Question to Sit With

What good thing have you found flows more freely than you expected?
