છેલ્લાં એ અમૃત શોષાવો, દિલદાર! દિલ દિલ વિષ-વેલડીઓ વાવો, દિલદાર!
— Jhaverchand Meghani
Meaning

O Beloved, let that last drop of nectar be absorbed, and then sow poison-vines in every heart.

Explanation

This couplet is a deeply emotional cry from a lover. It first pleads to fully absorb every last drop of a precious, sweet experience, like a final sip of nectar. Then, in a powerful, almost paradoxical twist, it asks the beloved to sow 'poisonous vines' in every heart. This isn't about literal malice, but rather a profound expression of overwhelming emotion. It highlights a love so intense it borders on pain, or a heartbreak so sharp that the speaker wishes for everyone to experience such powerful, all-consuming feelings, even if they are complex or bittersweet, rather than mere indifference. It truly speaks to the extreme highs and lows of profound affection.
