ધો ધો ધો ધો, ઉદક પડતું પહાણ ઉપેર ભારી, દેખી સંધું ક્યમ ન ટટળું નાથ સારું હું નારી?
— Narmad
Meaning

The sound of water falling heavily on stone is heard. Seeing how water impacts even hard stone, how can I, a woman, not melt for my Lord?

Explanation

This beautiful verse uses a striking image. It says, "Water falls heavily on a stone, washing it again and again." The speaker then asks, "Seeing all this, why shouldn't I, a woman, melt for my Lord?" The core idea is that if persistent water can soften even a hard stone, then as a loving devotee, especially a woman known for her tender heart, her spirit should surely melt and surrender in devotion to her divine beloved. It's a heartfelt expression of longing for complete emotional and spiritual surrender to God.
