Those who come will sleep, whether they are kings, poor people, or fakirs. One will climb upon a throne, and another will be bound with chains.

Kabir delivers a profound lesson here about the ultimate equality of life. He points out that regardless of status—be it a king, a beggar, or a rich person—all will eventually sleep. The contrast between climbing a throne and being bound by chains powerfully illustrates that all earthly power and suffering are temporary. This Shayar reminds us that worldly achievements and perceived hardships lose all meaning in the face of death.
