St Kabeer's Couplets 1: In A Duel Of Two Poem by Aniruddha Pathak
St Kabeer's Couplets 1: In A Duel Of Two
Watching two grudging grinding stones,
Kabeer's lamp grieves laments and moans:
Two huge hunks do when battle,
In safety none can settle.

Chalti chakki dekh kar, diyā Kabīrā roye
Dui pāţaņ ke bīch mein, sābīt bachā nā koye
The two grinding stones are taken here as two huge hunks at loggerheads and as a result grains that come in their way get ground to pieces. The two fighters might suffer in their conflict, but others too suffer no less.
Topic: duel, fight
