Human life is rare and does not come repeatedly. Just like leaves falling from a tree, life does not reattach or return repeatedly.

Kabir reminds us that a human life is incredibly precious and a gift that cannot be repeated. He uses the metaphor of leaves falling from a tree, illustrating that life, like a fleeting leaf, is momentary and does not return. This couplet urges us to recognize the rarity of this single life and live it with profound purpose and urgency.
