A Riddle from Santha shishunaala shareefa

A Poet philosopher who lived, enjoyed his life and left repercussions in the minds around him hundreds or years ago, to this day most of us are huge fans; receiving the waves he created then !
santha shishunaala sharifh saheba; was an icon of religious integrity, icon of "tathava pada" His songs do not just take birth from the surface of his brain, they originate as a result of his affair with the eternal bliss. Seeing the other side of the river yet being so connected with the people around him, sharifajja motivates for a lot many things.
He talks about thamburi, music instuments, he sings about the very usual, unrewarded daily chores that we all undertake and points out an entirely a new dimension. Every time i come back to his cave and listen to his songs i discover a new meaning; a version 2.0 for every revisit ! but the song that i am going to share with you all now, is the one that i am not able to crack atall. for years now, this song has kindled me right in the face. now i seek your help in decoding this song.



Below this; i have attempted to write down the lyrics, try and solve this riddle.


 ಸವಾಲೊಂದು ನಿನ್ನ ಮ್ಯಾಲ ಶಾಹಿ ರಖೆ ॥
 ಸವಾಲೊಂದು ನಿನ್ನ ಮ್ಯಾಲ ಶಾಹಿ ರಖೆ ॥
 ಬಯಲು ಅಲಾವಿಗೆ ನವಿಲು ಕುಣಿದು ನಿಂತು,
 ತೈಲವಿಲ್ಲದ ಜ್ಯೋತಿ, ತೈಲವಿಲ್ಲದ ಜ್ಯೋತಿ ಬೆಲಕುಮದೇನದಿ;

 ಬಂಡಿ ಗಾಲಿಯ ಬುಡಕ, ಬೆಂಕಿಯ ಹಚಿತ್ತು.
 ಪುಂಡಯಜೀದನ, ಕುಂಡಿಯ ಉರಿದಿತ್ತು !

 ತಾಗುತಿನೋಳಗೊಂದು ತಗದಿನ್ ಹಸ್ತವಕಂಡು;
 ಮೆಹೆಬೂಬೆ ಶಿಶುನಾಳ ಧೀಶಗ ನಗಿ ಬಂತು. ॥
 ಸವಾಲೊಂದು ನಿನ್ನ ಮ್ಯಾಲ ಶಾಹಿ ರಖೆ ॥
