O Jigar, there are many tears in the eyes, but only the one that takes shape and crystallizes becomes a pearl, while that which merely remains behind is just an ordinary grain.
Jigar Moradabadi draws a tender distinction between ordinary sorrow and heartfelt, dignified expression. While the eyes may well up with countless tears, not every tear is precious; only the one that crystallizes with true emotional depth becomes a priceless pearl, while the rest remain mere grains. It is a gentle reminder that pain only attains beauty and meaning when it is embraced with grace, transformed into poetry or quiet wisdom.
