આવે મંગળ અવસરે, કોણ વિલાપ કરે! કાયરતાને આંસુડે કોનાં નેન રડે!
— Jhaverchand Meghani
Meaning

Who would lament on such an auspicious occasion? Whose eyes would shed tears of cowardice?

Explanation

This couplet reminds us that when good times or auspicious moments come, it's not the time for sadness or lamenting. It questions why anyone would mourn during a joyful occasion. The second line powerfully asks whose eyes would cry tears of cowardice. It suggests that shedding tears out of fear or weakness is a sign of cowardice. Essentially, it's a call to be strong, to embrace happiness when it arrives, and to face life's moments with courage, rather than giving in to fear or weakness.
