Trying to play some music on this blog. As a test, this wonderful wonderful song by Mukhtiyar Ali...
the banks are old but the water is fresh, and the swan swoops to sit
पाल पुरानी जल नुवो तो हंस्लो बैठो आये
प्रीत पुरानी रे कारणों वो चुग चुग कंकर खाए
आज तो हजारी हंसो पावनो रे हेली...
the banks are old but the water is fresh, and the swan swoops to sit
for the sake of an old love, he stays pecking at pebbles...
Today, the revered swan is a honoured guest, Heli...
The 'hans' is traditional imagery for the soul, the body is where it temporarily perches. The banks are the same, the water's fresh and the love, for whose sake all this is played out, is very old.
The swan is always only a guest. Here today, gone tomorrow.
Now, hoping this works:

Deewan: isn't it beaut? it's credited to his disciple Dharmi Das, but same difference, I suppose.
