પૂરી તું કર નમાઝ અગર હોય ભાનમાં, ઓ શેખ! મસ્ત થઈ ગયો હું તો અઝાનમાં.
— Mariz
Meaning

O Sheikh, complete your namaz if you are in your senses. As for me, I have become completely entranced by the azan.

Explanation

This beautiful couplet contrasts two paths to devotion. The speaker tells a religious leader, "You complete your prayer if you are fully aware." But then adds, "Oh Sheikh, I was so moved by the call to prayer that I lost myself in its divine melody." It highlights that while some find God through structured rituals and conscious effort, others find a profound connection by becoming completely absorbed and 'lost' in the spiritual experience itself, transcending formal worship. It's about finding devotion not just in rules, but in heartfelt ecstasy.
