St Kabeer's Couplets 21: Waste Not In Vain Mirth

Rating: 5.0


Beware, rare's human birth,
Gotten no often, well its worth,
Waste it not in vain mirth.
Like a brown leaf fall ye would
Any time, ye better brood,
O to change thine attitude.

दुर्लभ मानुष जन्म है, देह न बारम्बार,
तरुवर ज्यों पत्ता झड़े, बहुरि न लागे डार।

Durlabha mānuśha janma hai, deha na bārambār,
Taruvar jyon pattā jhađe, bahurī na lāge đar.

Kabeer explains the value of human birth and exhorts us not to waste it. It is when one can think and take positive action.

Existence is a gift. We shall enjoy its wonders. Live life to the fullest and contribute positive works for the enhancement of humanity. Another wonderful poem from a great Poet translated and conveyed brilliantly by an equally great man and Poet.
