What a great poetry and so well rendered by ustad Shujat Khan who seems to get better by every day! We will remember for years to come that such geniuses existed in this continent. the Ganga Jamuna "Tahajeeb" in this troubled world.
What a rendition: रहना नहिं देस बिराना है। यह संसार कागद की पुड़िया, बूँद पड़े घुल जाना है। यह संसार काँट की बाड़ी, उलझ-पुलझ मरि जाना है। यह संसार झाड़ औ झाँखर, आग लगे बरि जाना है। कहत कबीर सुनो भाई साधो, सतगुरु नाम ठिकाना है॥
These lines are part of a famous poem called "Sakhi" written by Saint Kabir. In it, he draws attention to the impermanence of the world and the importance of spiritual truth. Translation: " रहना नहिं देस बिराना है" (rahna nahin desh birana hai): This world is not our permanent home, it's a foreign land. "यह संसार कागद की पुड़िया" (yeh sansaar kagad ki pudiya): This world is fragile and fleeting, like a paper bag that can dissolve with a drop of water. "यह संसार काँट की बाड़ी" (yeh sansaar kaant ki badi): This world is full of sufferings and hardships, just like getting hurt by thorns in a thicket. "यह संसार झाड़ औ झाँखर" (yeh sansaar jhad aur jhankar): This world is futile and temporary, like dry bushes that burn quickly in a fire. "कहत कबीर सुनो भाई साधो" (kahat kabir suno bhai sadho): Kabir says, listen, brother saints. "सतगुरु नाम ठिकाना है" (satguru naam thikana hai): Only the name of the Satguru (true spiritual guide) is our true refuge and shelter. Meaning: Kabir reminds us that the material world is impermanent and we shouldn't be attached to it. Our life's goal should be to attain spiritual knowledge and chant the name of the Satguru. This poem inspires us to contemplate the realities of life and the importance of the spiritual path. The lines emphasize the following points: Self-realization: We need to understand who we are and what our purpose in life is. Detachment: We should detach ourselves from material pleasures and worldly illusions. Satsang: We should seek the company of enlightened beings and saints.
