એને જોતાં અચરત થઇ કાં ન તુંને સ્તવું રે? ધો ધો ધો ધો મધુર સૂણતાં કાં ન લહેરે સૂઉં રે?
— Narmad
Meaning

Why, upon witnessing such a marvel in awe, would I not praise You? And upon hearing the sweet 'dho dho' sound, why would I not gently fall asleep on the waves?

Explanation

This couplet speaks of being utterly captivated by beauty and sound. The first line asks, "Upon seeing such a wondrous sight, filled with amazement, why wouldn't I praise you?" It suggests that some beauty is so profound it naturally inspires worship or deep admiration. The second line describes a soothing, rhythmic sound, perhaps like gentle waves or a flowing river. It asks, "Hearing that sweet 'dho dho' sound, why wouldn't I be lulled to sleep in its gentle sway?" This highlights a sense of deep peace and surrender to a harmonious experience. It's about finding divinity and tranquility in observation and listening.
