O Hali, we have heard many radiant and luminous voices, yet in your melodic strains we find a distinctly new tone.
The poet acknowledges having heard voices of sublime, celestial brilliance, yet finds something remarkably fresh and distinct in Hali’s melodies. It is a warm homage to Hali’s unique poetic voice, which moved away from traditional artifice toward sincere emotion and social consciousness. By contrasting radiant masters of the past with Hali's new tone, the couplet celebrates how a brave, heartfelt originality can outshine even the most polished classical echoes.
