જાણે કોઈ જોગી અબધૂત. – ઘૂઘરો. ઘૂઘરાને ચૂસે ચારે પો’ર બેનડી
— Jhaverchand Meghani
Meaning

One might consider it an ascetic yogi, a rattle; my dear sister sucks on that rattle all day long.

Explanation

This couplet vividly paints a picture of a 'ghugro', a delightful sweet pastry. It compares the ghugro to an 'Avadhut Yogi', an ascetic completely detached from worldly desires. The second line describes a beloved woman or sister (બેનડી) enjoying this ghugro throughout the day, 'sucking on it' in all four watches. This imagery suggests a deep, almost meditative enjoyment. Just as a yogi is absorbed in spiritual practice, the woman is entirely engrossed in savoring every bit of the sweet, finding immense satisfaction in its taste. It’s a beautiful way to express how something simple can bring such profound, continuous joy.
