In this
salok, Sheikh Farid speaks beautifully about life’s uncertainty and the irrevocable command of IkOankar (the Divine). Through the symbol of the crane, it has been described that the being lives life totally unaware of death, distracted by the beauty of life and the gifts of nature. However, the lesson is that death can come at any moment, even in the best of times.
