ઠપકો દેતી હસતી મૂરતી એ ઝળહળતી ચાલી જાય,
સ્વપ્ન સરે મ્હારે કાન પડે મ્હારા દેશની ઊંડેરી હાય રે
— Jhaverchand Meghani
Meaning
The radiant figure, smiling and chiding, drifts away. As dreams depart, I hear the deep sigh of my country.
Explanation
This couplet beautifully captures the essence of a fading dream. The poet sees a radiant, smiling figure, gently scolding, slowly disappear. As this luminous vision departs, the dream dissolves. What lingers then is not silence, but the profound, sorrowful sigh of their homeland echoing deep in their ears. It's a poignant transition from a comforting, even if slightly critical, dream to the stark reality of their nation's deep-seated pain and suffering. The gentle solace of the dream gives way to the heavy, waking sadness for their country.
