Its been more than 10 years since my last word by word meaning of a poem in my 10th final

exams. So, I will give my best in providing the meaning of words and meaning of sentence.
Honestly, this song is a mixture of sanskrit and music words and can be interpreted in both
normal way and musical art way. I will do in normal way, for musical way, it is best if any
expert in art of music gives the meaning of it.
