Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
When grace touches me, praise flows and I taste the sweetness deep inside my own self.
The One is tender toward the humble, and in the song my endless wanting finally goes quiet.
This one says that in the Word, endless wanting finally goes quiet. When grace comes, we sing the One's praises. And deep inside our own self we find har ras, the sweetness of the One.
The last words are tarisnaa sabad bujhaa-ee. Tarisnaa means craving, a thirst that keeps asking for more. Sabad, or shabad, is the Guru's Word. Bujhaa-ee means put out, like a fire, or quenched, like a thirst. This finishes the water story of the whole shabad. The thirst from the first lines is finally satisfied. It is like a hot, dry day that ends with a cool glass of water.
Deen da-i-aal means kind to the humble. The One is gentle with those who come empty-handed. Grace meets the open hand.
What quiets your wanting and leaves you feeling truly content?
