The world is like a dream — so keep the One in your heart, and come and play.
The Arc
The rahau, in the dancing Partaal rhythm, calls for the sublime Word and priceless praises, asks why spend yourself on what tangles you, and promises the One's own home within and a delighted play in the One's love. Verse one names the world a dream whose show does not hold, and asks the companion not to be charmed away from the Beloved kept in the heart. The close names the One as all warmth and mercy, always gentle, and lets the old fear of ending drop away in good company.
