મને ઘેલો કહી લોકો, હઝારો નામ આપો છો! હમો મનસૂરના ચેલા ખુદાથી ખેલ કરનારા!
— Kalapi
Meaning

O people, you call me mad and bestow a thousand names upon me. We are Mansoor's disciples, who play with the Divine.

Explanation

People may call me foolish or give me many names, but I don't mind. We are like the brave disciples of Mansoor, who dared to speak directly of their divine experience, even if it meant defying worldly norms. This couplet speaks of a profound spiritual connection that transcends conventional understanding. It's about being so deeply immersed in the divine that you feel a playful, intimate bond, unafraid of judgment. It's a call to embrace a fearless, unconventional path to the truth, even when the world misunderstands your devotion or calls you mad for it.
