कभी धूप कभी छाँव

सुख दुःख दोनों रहते जिस में
जीवन है वो गाओं
कभी धूप कभी छाँव
उपरवाला पासे फेंके
निचे चलते दांव
कभी धूप कभी छाँव

भले भी दिन आते जगत में
बुरे भी दिन आते
कडवे मिटते फल करम के
यहाँ सभी पते
कभी सीधे कभी उलटे पड़ते
अजब समये के पाँव
कभी धूप कभी छाँव

क्या खुशिया क्या गम
ये सब मिलते बरी बरी
मालिक की मर्ज़ी पे,
चलती ये दुनिया सारी
ध्यान से खेना जग नदिया में
बन्दे अपनी नाव
कभी धूप कभी छाँव

Life is like a village in which resides pleasure and pain. Sometimes, it is cloudy while at other times it is sunny. The Lord casts the dice (in this game of life) and we have the opportunity to win.

Good days and bad days, they all come to us. Everyone receives the fruits of their own action, whether sour or sweet. Sometimes the path of life is crooked, sometimes it is straight, yet everything is in the hands of time.

What is happiness, and what is sorrow? These are all parts of the cycle of life. The universe operates according to the Lord’s desire. O Man, row your boat carefully in this ocean of life.

Kabhi Dhoop Kabhi Chhaon (1971); Kavi Pradeep
