રૂડી શ્વેત ધજા રગદોળી રહી! અયિ! અમૃત ચોઘડિયાં ગડિયાં,
— Jhaverchand Meghani
Meaning

A beautiful white flag is being dragged and defiled! Alas! The auspicious 'Amrut' hours have passed.

Explanation

This couplet paints a picture of loss and regret. 'A beautiful white flag is being trampled' suggests that something pure, honorable, or sacred is being disrespected or ruined. It could refer to an ideal, a reputation, or even peace. The second line, 'Oh! The auspicious moments have passed,' laments the missed opportunities or the swift passage of fortunate times. Together, these lines evoke a feeling of sorrow for what is being lost or sullied, and a sense of helplessness as good times slip away, unutilized or unappreciated. It's a poignant reflection on the ephemeral nature of purity and opportunity.
