Just as a foolish hawk, seeing its own reflection on a mirrored floor, pounces upon it in eager hunger while completely forgetting the harm it will cause to its own face.

This thoughtful verse paints a vivid picture of how illusion can trick us. It speaks of a foolish hawk looking down at a glass floor. Seeing its own reflection, the bird mistakes the shadow for prey and swoops down in blind hunger. In its rush, it forgets that crashing into the hard glass will only hurt its own face. Through this story, the poet gently cautions us against chasing worldly illusions. Driven by unchecked desire, we often run after shadows, not realizing that we might end up hurting ourselves. It is a warm reminder to pause, look beyond outer appearances, and live with clarity rather than impulse.
