Ghazal
ધીરે ધીરે સુધારાનો સાર
This ghazal, 'The Essence of Gradual Reform,' emphasizes the importance of patience and a gentle approach when introducing new ideas or reforms. It uses analogies to illustrate that complex concepts should be presented gradually and considerately, just as one would not offer a whole sweet to ants or scare monkeys in a boat, to ensure acceptance and understanding rather than rejection or fear.

સજ્જન સંભળાવજોરે, ધીરે ધીરે સુધારાનો સાર;
સજ્જન સ્નેહ સહિત સંભળાવો. ટેક.

છોટી અકલવાળા આગળે, મુખ ન વદીએ મોટી વાત;
પાશેર કેરા પાત્રમાં કેમ શેર સમાશે સાત. સજ્જનo
To minds of little depth, speak not of truths so wide;How can seven sher of grain in a pasher pot reside?
One should not speak of great matters before those with limited understanding, just as a seven-sher quantity cannot fit into a pasher-sized vessel.

લાખો કીડીપર લાડવો, આખો મેલિયે તો મરી જાય;
ભૂકો કરી ભભરાવીયે, તો તે ખાસી રીતે ખાય. સજ્જનo
For millions of ants, a laddu's sweet delight,If placed whole, they will perish in the night.But if you crush and scatter it around,They'll eat it well, with satisfaction found.

માંકડા લઈને માનવી, બેઠો નાવમાં દઈને નૂર;
ભડકાવે તો તે અભાગિયાં, પડે કૂદી પાણીને પૂર. સજ્જનo
A man took monkeys, in his boat, granting them light; If startled, those unfortunates, plunge into the water's might.

જે સમજે જેવી રીતથી, તેને પણ સમજાવીએ તેમ;
બેરો તો સમજે સાનમાં, ત્યારે કરીએ લવારો કેમ. સજ્જનo
To him who understands in his own way, we explain accordingly; A deaf man grasps by signs, why then should we prattle needlessly, O gentle folk?
We explain to each person in a manner they understand; for a deaf person comprehends through signs, so why should we engage in needless chatter?

બાળક આગળ બોલિયે, ત્યારે બનિયે બાળક રૂપ;
ભૂ બાઉ તાતા ભાખિયે, ભલે હોઈએ ભળેલા ભૂપ. સજ્જનo
When we address a child with grace,Our very selves like them become;We babble "Bhoo, bau, Tata" with playful face,Though learned kings, from wisdom's home.
When we speak in front of a child, we assume the form of a child. We utter childish words like 'Bhoo, Bau, Tata,' even if we are learned kings.

પલક ટકે નહિ પેટમાં, જા ખાય બિલાડી ખીર;
ખામુંખાં શિદ ખવરાવિએ, તે વિચારોને મારા વીર. સજ્જનo
No moment stays within its belly, like kheer devoured by a cat;Why should we then needlessly feed it? My dear friend, just ponder that.
If nothing stays in the stomach for even a moment, like kheer eaten by a cat, then why feed it needlessly? My friend, think about it.

જંગલ કેરાં જાનવરો, આપે પાળવા કરિએ જો આશ;
એવું આદરિએ કે આપણી પાસે વસે કરી વિશ્વાસ. સજ્જનo

We must act so they dwell with us, with trust in us.
If we wish to tame wild animals, we must act in a way that earns their trust, making them willing to live near us.

ધીરે ધીરે નિત્ય ધીરવી, એને અકલ શિખવીએ અનેક;
હળીમળી હેત વધારિએ, પણ છૂટા ન પડિએ છેક. સજ્જનo
Slowly, gently, with patience ever flow,And countless wisdom to them bestow;In harmony, let love's embrace grow deep,But never wholly let our bonds unkeep. O noble one.
Always be patient and gently, teaching them endless wisdom. Live in harmony, fostering deeper love, but never let go of our bonds completely.

નિશાળિયાને ગમે નહીં, આપે શિક્ષક જો એવું જ્ઞાન;
નાશીને જાય નિશાળિયા, મળે શિક્ષકને કેવું માન. સજ્જનo
If teachers impart knowledge that students dislike, the students will flee. What honor then will the teacher strike?

છણછણતે તેલે છાંટિએ, લઈને નિર્મલ ઠંડું જો નીર;
સળગી ઉઠે એ સામટું વળી, સામાનું બાળે શરીર. સજ્જનo

સજ્જનને મન શુદ્ધ છે, પણ વિશ્વ વિરુદ્ધ વિચાર;

દલપતરામના દેવની તમે પામશો પુરી પીત. સજ્જનo

The full grace of Dalpatram's God you will find. O virtuous one.
