Do not break a heart
Traditionally attributed; historical authorship unconfirmed.
Two ways into the same verse. Tap a line to find its echo.
Let mosque and temple fall;
मसजिद ढाह दे, मंदर ढाह दे
break all that can be broken.
ढाह दे जो कुझ ढहिंदा
But leave one human heart unbroken:
इक्क बंदे दा दिल ना ढावीं
in human hearts God dwells.
रब्ब दिलां विच रहिंदा
Stay with the words.
Then hear how they travel.
