Daatien sahab sandiyan

Daatien sahab sandiyan liya chale tis naal
Aik jaagande na lehen ik suttyaan de utthal

Reference: Kalam Baba Farid, Dr Nazir Ahmad; Packages Limited; Page 57
English Translation

The gifts are from our Lord and Master; who can force Him to bestow them? Some are awake, and do not receive them, while He awakens others from sleep to bless them.

Translation: S. S. Khalsa
