Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The One's humble servant is hungry only for the One, and feels full only when singing the One's praises.
The One's servant is a fish in the water of the One. Forgetting the One, that fish would dry up and die.
A devoted heart lives in the One the way a fish lives in water.
Har jan ka-o har bhookh lagaanee: the One's servant is hungry only for the One, and triptai, feels satisfied, only when singing the One's praises.
Har kaa jan har jal kaa meenaa: the One's servant is a fish in the water of the One. Har bisrat foot marai: forgetting the One, the fish dries up and dies. A fish out of water gasps, because water is its whole life. In this rain raag, where water is everything, this is the strongest picture of belonging.
Where is the place, outside or inside you, where you feel most at home?
