One day for some, one day for others, one day for the ascetics, day after day.
This beautiful couplet by Bulleh Shah speaks to the unpredictable nature of life and human relationships. The Shayar suggests that meeting someone, or even encountering a certain state of being, happens randomly, day by day. It’s a gentle reminder that life's journey is full of unexpected encounters—some joyful, some challenging. Bulleh Shah teaches us to embrace the randomness of life, accepting that every new day brings its own unique set of experiences.
