Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
This world is Yours, and You are its Lord and Master.
In one instant You establish, and in one instant You take down. You give out wealth as it pleases You.
The Pause answers the rubble with ownership: the world in which kingdoms rise and vanish belongs, always, to the One. "In an instant You establish and disestablish" — the same phrase-rhythm as the ruins outside the window. This is Hukam seen from the far side of catastrophe: what looked like the collapse of order was a movement within the order. It does not make the grief smaller; it makes the frame larger — large enough that the grief has somewhere to stand.
If nothing we build is permanent, what is worth building?
