This human birth is rare and not obtained repeatedly. Just like leaves falling from a tree, this life is given only once.

This couplet beautifully reminds us of the rarity of human existence. Kabir uses the vivid metaphor of falling leaves to show how life, once gone, never returns. He gently urges us to recognize the preciousness of this single life, treating it as a gift that must be utilized fully, since time waits for no one.
