इक बात सिखाई हमें आँखों के नीर ने
इन्सां को पीर कर दिया, इन्सां की पीर ने
चिड़ियों को चुगते देख रहा था कि अचानक
हँस कर कटोरा फैंक दिया इक फ़क़ीर ने
Ik baat sikhaayi hamen aankhon kay neer nay
Insaan ko Peer kar diya - insaan ki Peer nay
Chidiyon ko chugtay dekh rahaa tha ki achhanak
Hans kar katora phaink diya ik faqeer nay

What a beautiful use of the same word - 'Peer' - from two different languages with two different meanings.
In the second line, the former 'Peer' is taken from Persian -meaning Wise and the later 'Peer' is the Braj-bhasha version of Peed meaning pain.
Pain and suffering can become excellent teacher and make a person wise - if one is willing to learn.
Acceptance of adverse circumstances - staying calm and quiet even in unfavorable situations can turn a person into a saint - like Kabeer ji, Tulasi das, Meera and Ravidas etc.
Guru Nanak also said:
"Dukh daaru sukh rog bhayaa - Ja sukh taam na hoyi "
That Dukh (sorrow, sufferings) may (sometimes) become remedy and open new doors,
while comforts and luxuries of life may become an illness and a trap - which may take one away from God.
नीर Neer - Water, (Aankhon ka neer - Tears in eyes)
पीर Peer - Wise, Saint, Guru, An eldery person (Persian- Faarsi)
पीर Peer - Pain, Suffering (Hindi, Braj-bhasha as Peed)
इन्सां को पीर कर दिया, इन्सां की पीर ने
