पानी केरा बुदबुदा , अस मानस की जात। देखत ही छिप जाएगा , ज्यों सारा परभात॥ 211॥
— Kabir
Meaning
Like water that bubbles, such is the nature of man. He vanishes at a mere sight, just like the entire dawn.
Explanation
Kabir uses the vivid metaphors of bubbling water and the dawn to describe the ephemeral nature of man. He suggests that human existence is so transient that it vanishes almost instantly, much like the beauty of the entire morning light. This imagery highlights the impermanence of the ego, worldly attachments, and fleeting joys. The Shayar’s unique perspective is a gentle reminder that since everything, including the self, is temporary, one should seek lasting spiritual truth rather than clinging to the momentary.
