The gift and the theft
Two ways into the same verse. Tap a line to find its echo.
How devoted we should be to those whose honeyed words beguile!
बुल्ल्हआ वारे जाईए उन्हां तों,जेहड़े गल्लीं देन प्रचा ।
A needle offered in the light, an anvil stolen in the dark.
सूई सलाई दान करन, ते आहरन लैन छुपा ।
Stay with the words.
Then hear how they travel.
