Kabir! One should not be so proud of (this body, after all it is a bunch of) bones wrapped in skin. Even those, who were on fine horses and under flying canopies, were eventually buried under the ground. �Bhagat Kabir, Guru Granth Sahib, 1366
Message: We are but mortals. We are on this earth for a limited period and ultimately must leave, which is the only certainty in life. All riches and grandeur will remain here.�� Eventually, we will all succumb to the Divine will and perish.� Ashes to ashes.
Etymology: Blend of Sanskrit haya (horse) + var (a suffix, meaningsupreme, excellent, fine, best), hence best of horses or simply horses.
