ઓલી કોણ કરી લટ મોકળીયું ખડી આભ-મહોલ અટારી પરે ઊંચી મેઘ-મહોલ અટારી પરે! અને ચાકમચૂર બે ઉર પરે
— Jhaverchand Meghani
Meaning

Who is she, standing with her hair loosened on the sky-mansion's high balcony and on the high cloud-mansion's terrace? As a result, two hearts are utterly shattered.

Explanation

This couplet paints a vivid picture of a mysterious figure. It asks, 'Who is that, with her hair flowing freely, standing on the highest balcony, a sky-palace, perhaps even a cloud-palace?' The imagery suggests someone ethereal, perhaps a celestial being, or a beloved figure in a lofty, unreachable place. The poet then adds a touch of poignant emotion: 'and with two hearts shattered.' This could imply that her beauty or presence is so overwhelming it breaks hearts, or perhaps her own heart, and that of an admirer, are broken by longing or separation. It's a blend of awe, wonder, and a touch of sorrow.
