પથ્થર બની પેદા થયો છું પહાડમાં, છું ચાહનારો એ ય તુંથી છું, સનમ!
— Kalapi
Meaning

I was born as a stone within the mountain, and even this love that I possess is derived from you, my beloved.

Explanation

This beautiful couplet speaks of a profound transformation through love. The poet says they were born like a stone in a mountain, symbolizing a simple, perhaps unrefined beginning. But then, they declare that even their ability to love, their very identity as a lover, exists solely because of their beloved. It's a heartfelt expression of how the beloved's presence elevates them, giving them the capacity for deep affection and making them whole. It means 'I may have started as something ordinary, but it is your love that made me capable of loving, my dear.'
