(Sawaiya)
Jab Prem Ke Panth Mein Pair Diya, Tab Kya Uske Dukh Se Darna Hai.
Jal Bhojan Ki Mat Chaah Karo, Talvaar Tale Shir Ko Dharna Hai. [1]
Bas Yaad Mein Rote Huye Unki, Nij Praan Visarjan Bhi Karna Hai.
Vah Aasha Niraasha Liye Apni, Kabhi Jeena Hai Mitra. Kabhi Marna Hai. [2]
- Dandi Swami Shri Hare Krishnanand Sarasvati ‘Hare Krishn’
Once one steps onto the path of love, why fear the sorrows encountered along it? On this path, even the desire for water and food is to be abandoned, and one must walk forward without hesitation, placing one’s head willingly beneath the sword. [1]
Shedding tears incessantly in remembrance of the Beloved, one must be ready to offer one’s very life in complete self-surrender. Bearing both hope and despair within your heart, O friend—sometimes you must live, and sometimes you must be prepared to die. [2]
