આશક અને માશૂકને, પાવો એક જામે ને સીસે;
પાવો એક હાથે સાકીએ, ઈન્સાફ તેં કીધો નહીં.
Kalapi
Meaning

The cupbearer poured for the lover and beloved from a single cup and flask, and served with only one hand. By doing so, you have not done justice.

Explanation

This couplet explores the intricate nature of love. Imagine a server, the 'Saaki,' offering drinks to both the fervent lover and their beloved. The Saaki, perhaps aiming for fairness, serves them from the very same cup and with the same hand. Yet, the poet exclaims, 'You did not do justice!' This isn't a critique of the server's impartiality, but rather a profound statement on the inherent inequality often present in love. True justice in matters of the heart isn't about equal servings from an external hand. It's about recognizing the unique, often imbalanced, emotional landscape between two individuals, where one's devotion might far surpass the other's. The Saaki's equal treatment fails to acknowledge this deep emotional asymmetry.
