Whether it be Qais, Kohkan (Farhad), or Hali, being a lover is not anyone's exclusive birthright or personal monopoly.
Hali playfully places himself alongside legendary figures of romance—Qais (Majnun) and Kohkan (Farhad)—to remind us that passion is no one's exclusive birthright or inherited privilege. The fire of devotion does not care for fame or pedigree; it burns just as profoundly in an ordinary poet as it did in the great myths of antiquity. In the court of love, all distinctions dissolve, making every true and suffering heart an equal.
