Salok Sheikh Farid, Salok 112 — those who stay awake and aware receive the gifts
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The first part of the night brings flowers, and the last part of the night brings fruit.
Those who stay awake receive gifts from the Master.
Those who stay awake in the night receive the Master's gifts.
Pahilai pahrai fulrhaa: in the first watch of the night, a flower. Fal bhee pachhaa raat: and in the late night, the fruit. Remembering the One in the evening is like a flower opening; remembering in the hours before dawn is like the fruit ripening.
Saa-ee kanno daat: the gift from the Master. Think of a farmer who rises early to pick fruit while it is fresh. The gift is there for whoever is awake to take it.
What could you notice if you were awake and quiet before everyone else?
