ઘૂઘરાને તોડે ફોડે બેની ખીજમાં તોય ના’ણે અંતરમાં દુઃખ!
— Jhaverchand Meghani
Meaning

In her anger, the sister breaks and shatters the ankle bells, Yet, she does not wash away the sorrow within her heart!

Explanation

Imagine a child, perhaps a little girl, so upset that she breaks her toy 'ghughra' or rattle. Yet, even in her fit of anger, there's no real sadness in her heart. This couplet beautifully captures how a child's anger, though intense, is often superficial. It reminds us that for kids, even strong emotions like frustration can pass quickly, leaving no deep sorrow behind. It's a sweet glimpse into the transient nature of childhood emotions and their innocence.
