Kabir ke Dohe Doha 165 meaning
kabeer naubat apanee, din das lehu bajai
e pur patan e galee, bahuri na dekhau ai
कबीर नौबत आपणी, दिन दस लेहु बजाइ ।
ए पुर पाटन ए गली, बहुरि न देखौ आइ ॥
Kabir says, beat your own drum for ten days if you like. You will not come back to see this town, this city or this street again.
What it means
Whatever status or applause we enjoy is short-lived. We pass through these streets only once. Spend your brief time on what will matter, not just on showing off.How it helps in real life
- When you succeed: You got promoted and changed your WhatsApp DP to the award photo. Fine, now call the junior who helped you get there.
- With family: You spent the whole Diwali party talking about your new car. Next visit, ask your nani about her childhood instead.
हिंदी में अर्थ
कबीर कहते हैं, अपनी नौबत दस दिन बजा लो। यह नगर, यह शहर, यह गली तुम दोबारा देखने नहीं आओगे।
जो रुतबा या तालियाँ मिलती हैं, वे थोड़े दिन की हैं। इन गलियों से हम एक ही बार गुज़रते हैं। कम समय को दिखावे में नहीं, सार्थक काम में लगाइए।
