“O Flower Gatherer!”
says the rose,
“Tear me not away from
my parent stem!
Linked with it, the life sap
of the infinite life flows through me.
I blossom and glow
and perfume the very univese.
All that come hither may drink
of joy from the fragrant
scent of my soul.
“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
