ਕਬਹੂ ਖਾਟ ਸੁਪੇਦੀ ਸੁਵਾਵੈ ॥
kabhoo khaat supaydee suvaavai.
Sometimes, people sleep on cozy beds with white sheets.
ਕਬਹੂ ਭੂਮਿ ਪੈਆਰੁ ਨ ਪਾਵੈ ॥੩॥
kabhoo bhoom pai-aar na paavai. ||3||
Sometimes, they do not even have straw to put down on the ground. ||3||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Sometimes people sleep on cozy beds with white sheets.
Sometimes they don't even have straw to lay on the ground.
Comfort comes and goes, but the One stays with you the same.
Comfort comes and goes like the weather.
Kabhoo khaat supaydee suvaavai: sometimes a bed with white sheets. Kabhoo bhoom pai-aar na paavai: sometimes not even straw on the bare ground. Held next to the pause line, as the One keeps us, so we live, the lesson is steadiness, sahaj: staying settled through every condition.
A Question to Sit With
