इन्सां को पीर कर दिया Insaan ko Peer kar diya

              इक बात सिखाई हमें आँखों के नीर ने
              इन्सां को पीर कर दिया, इन्सां की पीर ने

Ik baat sikhaayi hamen aankhon kay neer nay
Insaan ko Peer kar diya - insaan ki Peer nay
                                                  (Writer unknown)

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 latter 'Peer' is the Braj-Bhasha version of Peed or Peedha meaning pain.

Pain and suffering can also become an 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 - such as 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 ailment- a distortion and a trap - 

which may take one away from God and Moksha - 

away from achieving Nirvaana - the ultimate freedom.

नीर Neer - Water, (Aankhon ka neer - Tears in eyes)
पीर Peer - Wise, Saint, Guru, An elderly person (Persian- Farsi)
