When I kiss their hand in reverence in the morning, how wondrous it is that the elder's hand has turned into the luminous, miraculous white hand of Moses.
In this couplet, the poet weaves deep devotion with sacred imagery in a wonderfully uplifting way. Bowing to kiss the hand of a beloved elder at dawn brings forth a breathtaking transformation—the hand seems to glow like 'Yad-e-Baiza', the miraculous radiant hand of Moses. It beautifully shows how a simple gesture of reverence can illuminate a moment and make it feel touched by the divine.
