Meera Bai Pad 17 meaning
badhat chin chin ghatat pal pal, jat na lage bar
birach ke jyoon pat toote, lagen naheen puni dar
बढ़त छिन छिन घटत पल पल, जात न लागे बार।
बिरछ के ज्यूँ पात टूटे, लगें नहीं पुनि डार॥
It seems to grow moment by moment, yet it shrinks with every second, and it's gone in no time. Like a leaf fallen from a tree, it never rejoins the branch.
What it means
Each day lived is a day spent; time doesn't come back. This isn't meant to scare you but to wake you up. Say the kind word, make the call, do the meaningful thing now.How it helps in real life
- With family: You keep postponing the call to your nani because work is busy. Call her today on your lunch break; those days don't come back.
- Phone & habits: Screen time says six hours on Instagram yesterday. Set a 45-minute daily limit and use the saved hours for one real conversation.
हिंदी में अर्थ
यह जीवन क्षण-क्षण बढ़ता दिखता है पर पल-पल घटता है, और जाते देर नहीं लगती। पेड़ से टूटा पत्ता फिर डाल पर नहीं लगता।
हर बीता दिन वापस नहीं आता। यह डराने के लिए नहीं, जगाने के लिए है। जो अच्छा कहना या करना है, आज ही करें।
Spoken by Meera.
