અહો આંખથી ગંગાયમુના વહે એમ ને એમ, તમે પ્રેમની વાતો કરજો: અમે કરીશુ પ્રેમ.
— Suresh Dalal
Meaning

Ah, tears flow continuously from these eyes like the Ganga-Yamuna rivers. You may talk about love, but we will actually perform it.

Explanation

This couplet beautifully contrasts talking about love with actually living it. The poet says, "Oh, tears flow from my eyes like the Ganga and Yamuna." This vividly paints a picture of profound emotion, perhaps sorrow or deep longing, a constant stream of tears. Then, they tell others, "You keep talking about love; as for us, we will simply experience love." It highlights that while some might intellectualize or discuss love, the poet is immersed in its raw, often painful, reality, feeling its depth with every tear. It's about living love, not just discussing it.
