Parh parh, likh likh ladain dher
Dher kitabaan, cho pheyr
Kerdey chanan, Wich unheyr
Pecho: “Rah?” tey khabar n satar
“Reading and writing, a pile of many books, Many books, with a touch of a whim, They will make the light, but the back: 'What?' and no news.”
— बुल्ले शाह
अर्थ
पढ़-पढ़, लिख-लिख लादें ढेर, ढेर किताबें, चो फेर। करदेय चनान, विच उन्हेर। पेछो: “रह?” ते खबार न सतर।
विस्तार
Bulleh Shah, ek mashhoor Shayar, yahan gyaan ki seemaon par ek gehra vichaar dete hain. Ve batate hain ki insaan kitari kitaben aur bahut saara gyaan ikattha kar sakta hai. Lekin, is kavita ka sach yeh hai ki jab asli rahnumai ki zaroorat padti hai, toh woh saara gyaan ka kaam nahi aata. Yeh couplet humein yaad dilata hai ki jeevan ka sabse gehra gyaan kitaabon ke panno se zyada, hamare apne andar milta hai.
