Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
I am Your instrument, and You are the One who plays me.
I am Your beggar, standing with open hands; give me Your gift, O Great Giver.
By Your kindness, I enjoy love and every delight.
You live deep inside each and every heart.
You are an instrument in the One's hands, and the One lives inside every heart.
Ham tayray jant too bajaavanhaaraa: I am Your instrument, You are the Player. A flute makes no music on its own; the player's breath makes it sing. The image fits Bhairao, a raag made to be sung.
Bhikhaaree is a beggar, someone who comes with open, empty hands. Daataaraa is the Great Giver who fills them. Rang ras is love and delight, enjoyed by the One's kindness. Ghat ghat antar: inside every heart, so the One lives in everyone alike.
When have you felt like something good was flowing through you, not just from you?
