क्या भरोसा देह का , बिनस जात छिन मांह। साँस-सांस सुमिरन करो और यतन कुछ नांह॥
— Kabir
Meaning

What guarantee does the body hold? It perishes in a moment. Remember God with every breath, and do no other effort.

Explanation

This couplet gives us a profound realization about the transience of life. The Shayar Kabir emphasizes that the body is utterly unreliable, destined to vanish in an instant. Therefore, we must dedicate every breath to remembering the Divine and avoid getting caught up in excessive worldly efforts. It beautifully captures the urgency of spiritual devotion over material attachment.
