After exchanging a few words, they become like pigeons, flying hither and thither. What delight there is in thus intertwining with each other and then scattering!
This beautiful couplet uses the image of doves to explore the nature of separation. Amrut Ghayal paints a picture of birds that, after a moment of connection, fly in erratic, beautiful paths. The core question—what is the pleasure in simply scattering?—is a profound reflection on human relationships. It suggests that sometimes, the joy is not in the closeness, but in the wild, unpredictable freedom found after parting.
