Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The whole world is like a great play that the One sets in motion,
lifting some like a wave rising, letting some dip low.
As the One moves the music, so we all dance, each life unfolding in its own way.
Ma-ulaa khayl karay sabh aapay means the Master stages the whole play. Ma-ulaa is an Arabic word for Lord, and khayl means play.
Life is like one great dance, and the One sets the music. Some are lifted up like a rising wave. Some dip low for a while. Ji-o nachaa-ay ti-o ti-o nachan: as the One makes us dance, so we dance. Each life moves along with its own past actions.
So the ups and downs are not random cruelty. They are steps in one big dance. Seeing life this way helps us not take every rise and every dip so personally.
Can you hold both the highs and lows of a day a little more lightly?
