Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
With these very eyes I have watched so many leave this world.
Farid says: everyone has their own fate to face, and I have mine.
Many have gone before us, and each of us must face our own turn.
We watch many people leave this world, and each of us must face our own turn.
Aynee lo-inee daykh-di-aa: before these eyes, kaytee chal ga-ee, so many have gone. Farid has seen it again and again.
Lokaan aapo aapnee: each person has their own concern, their own end to meet, and Farid has his. No one can carry another's account; each has to get ready for their own.
A Question to Sit With
What would you like to be ready with when your own turn comes?
