કરે છે શોર એ ભૂકી, “મને માશૂક માની લે!” સુણે ના કોઈએ તેને, પછી ફરિયાદ શાની છે?
— Kalapi
Meaning

The soil makes a clamor, "Consider me your beloved!" But no one hears it, so what is there to complain about?

Explanation

This couplet talks about a tiny particle of dust, which despite its insignificance, passionately cries out, "Please consider me your beloved!" It's a powerful image of something small yearning for deep affection and recognition. However, the poet observes that no one ever truly hears this plea from the dust. The profound message here is that if your expressions of desire or love go completely unnoticed by others, then what's the point of lamenting or complaining about not being heard? It suggests that sometimes, unacknowledged feelings, even if intense, can't truly lead to a grievance if they never reached an ear.
