The Worth of the Flame

لالٕچ قدرٕ ڈُنٛگل زانے

Laalich qadre dungal zaaney

Only the deep-sea diver truly understands the absolute worth of a precious gem

پٔشؠ کیٛاہ زانے سوٚتھؠ پٮؠٹھؠ وتھ

Pashy kyaah zaaney sothy pyethy wath

What could a mere grazing beast possibly know of walking the elevated path?

شمعٕچ قدرٕ پونٛپُر زانے

Shamayich qadre ponpur zaaney

Only the devoted moth truly understands the majestic worth of the burning candle

مٔچھ کیاہ زانے پونٛپٕرؠ گتھ

Machh kyaah zaaney ponpiry gath

What could a common fly ever comprehend of the moth's ecstatic, self-immolating dance?
