kbIr bYdu mUAw rogI mUAw mUAw sBu sMswru ]

Kabeer, the physician is dead, and the patient is dead; the whole world is dead.

eyku kbIrw nw mUAw ijh nwhI rovnhwru ]69]

eaek kabeeraa naa mooaa jih naahee rovanehaar ||69||

Only Kabeer is not dead; there is no one to mourn for him. ||69||

What is the meaning of this shabad???

Is it referring to how Kabeer ji has died while still living, so in essence he is alive to the true reality while rest of the slumbering world is dead to it? It seems to be referring to his achievement of bhramgian, which means that he is free from the cycle of births and deaths. He is now immortal. All others, the entire world, must die. Once all his former friends and relatives pass away, there will be no one left to mourn for him. But, as he is not dead, there is no need for anyone to mourn for him. Kabeer is free.

ਕਬੀਰ ਬੈਦੁ ਮੂਆ ਰੋਗੀ ਮੂਆ ਮੂਆ ਸਭੁ ਸੰਸਾਰੁ ॥ ਏਕੁ ਕਬੀਰਾ ਨਾ ਮੂਆ ਜਿਹ ਨਾਹੀ ਰੋਵਨਹਾਰੁ ॥੬੯॥

O Kabeer, doctor dies, patience dies, whole world dies.

Kabeer, One (ਏਕ)(Lord) who has nobody (He has no relatives) to mourn for Him, never dies.
