Couplet

Khusrau darya prem ka, ulti wa ki dhaar,
Jo utra so doob gaya, jo dooba so paar.

English Translation.

Oh Khusrau, the river of love
Runs in strange directions.
One who jumps into it drowns,
And one who drowns, gets across.



Notes

    simple and sweet

    This poem is simple yet the deep meenings are there to make it a philosophical poem.
