Rahim ke Dohe Doha 44 meaning
rahiman panee rakhie, bin panee sab soon
panee gae na oobarai, motee, manush, choon
रहिमन पानी राखिए, बिन पानी सब सून।
पानी गए न ऊबरै, मोती, मानुष, चून॥
Rahim says: keep your 'water', for without it everything is empty. Without water a pearl loses its shine, a person loses honour, and flour can't be kneaded.
What it means
Here 'water' means shine, dignity and life. Guard your self-respect and integrity; once lost, they're very hard to regain. Like a pearl without lustre, a person without honour loses value.How it helps in real life
- At work: A vendor offers you a 'gift' to approve his invoice faster. Politely refuse; your name is worth more than any envelope.
- Studies & exams: Tempted to fake a medical certificate to skip the exam? Don't; take the reattempt and keep your record clean.
हिंदी में अर्थ
रहीम कहते हैं कि पानी (मान, चमक) बनाए रखो, बिना पानी सब सूना है। पानी जाने पर मोती, मनुष्य और आटा, तीनों का कोई मोल नहीं रहता।
यहाँ 'पानी' का अर्थ चमक, इज़्ज़त और जीवन है। अपना आत्मसम्मान और ईमानदारी बचाकर रखें, एक बार गई तो लौटाना कठिन है।
Spoken by Rahim.
