Budha hoya sheikh fareed

Budha hoya sheikh fareed kamban laggi deh
Je sau warrhyan jeevna bhi tann hossi kheh

Reference: Kalam Baba Farid, Dr Nazir Ahmad; Packages Limited; Page 32
English Translation

Shaykh Fareed has grown old, and his body has begun to tremble. Even if he could live for hundreds of years, his body will eventually turn to dust.

Translation: S. S. Khalsa
