ਬਿਰਹਾ ਬਿਰਹਾ ਆਖੀਐ ਬਿਰਹਾ ਤੂ ਸੁਲਤਾਨੁ ॥

birahaa birahaa aakheeai birahaa too sulataan |

Many talk of the pain and suffering of separation; O pain, you are the ruler of all.

ਫਰੀਦਾ ਜਿਤੁ ਤਨਿ ਬਿਰਹੁ ਨ ਊਪਜੈ ਸੋ ਤਨੁ ਜਾਣੁ ਮਸਾਨੁ ॥੩੬॥

fareedaa jit tan birahu na aoopajai so tan jaan masaan |36|

Fareed, that body, within which love of the Lord does not well up - look upon that body as a cremation ground. ||36||
