“Having wasted the night with sleep, and wasted the day with eating. How priceless is this life, that it can be exchanged for a mere coin.”
سونے میں رات گزار دینا اور کھانے میں دن گزار دینا۔ یہ زندگی کتنی انمول ہے کہ اسے ایک معمولی سکے کے بدلے نہیں بدلا جا سکتا۔
Kabir is offering a profound lesson on the stewardship of time. Usne neend mein raat aur sirf khane mein din guzaarna zindagi ki be-qaadri ke liye ek gehra ishara diya hai. Yeh sher batata hai ke zindagi kitni anmol cheez hai, ke isay ek choti si sikke ke badle nahi kiya ja sakta. Iska matlab hai ke humein apni zindagi ki qadar karni chahiye aur har pal ko maqsad se guzarna chahiye.
