“O flower gatherer!
why dost thou take me away,
to have me all for thyself,
thine only, denied to all others!
Ah! it will be so, it will be so,
thou wilt have me all for thyself.
But thou wilt retain me
for less than a twinkling of an eye.
And I, my pefume, my beauty,
my soul, and all I am will die.”

- Bhai Vir Singh
