Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Death, O Mullah — death will come.
So live in the fear of God the Creator. Not terror — reverence. The recognition that something larger than your title is running things.
This is the invitation beneath all the titles: what do you actually know, and what are you actually living from?
The rahao addresses the Mullah — an Islamic religious scholar and teacher. The use of "O Mullah" (maullaa) is not disrespectful — it is direct. Death is the leveler. No title prevents the journey.
"Fear of God the Creator" (khaalak darr / Prabh kee dar) — the darr of the divine is not terror but the awe-based reverence that keeps one honest about their own smallness and the divine's vastness.
If you had to strip away every role and title you carry, what would be left? Is that person ready for whatever comes next?
