Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Each day arrives like a friendly traveler and, by evening, moves along again. Nothing here stays fixed; everything is gently on its way somewhere.
That is not sad — it means we are all on a journey together, and every single day is a gift to be treasured while it is here.
jo din aavahi so din jaahee — the day that comes also goes. karnaa kooch rahan thir naahee — we must move on; nothing is permanent. sang chalat hai ham bhee chalnaa — our companions move on, and so do we. The literal death-hovers-overhead detail is set aside; the passage of days is rendered as a shared journey that makes each day precious (the Alaahnian: the world is a visit).
What is one gift in today you don't want to let pass by unnoticed?
