Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
In an instant, the One fills the empty until it overflows. In an instant, the One turns the dry green.
In an instant, the One gives a home to the one with no place. In an instant, the One gives honour to the one who had none.
In a single instant, the One fills the empty, greens the dry, and lifts up the overlooked.
Khin meh, "in an instant," comes four times, like four quick drumbeats, and its speed suits intense Bhairao. Oonay subhar bhari-aa: the empty filled to overflowing. Sookay keenay hari-aa: the dry made green.
Nithaavay ka-o deeno thaan: a place for the one with no place. Nimaanay ka-o deeno maan: honour for the one nobody honoured. Think of the new kid at school with nowhere to sit, and someone waves them over to the table.
When did one moment change everything for the better?
