Bhai Veer Singh and Shiv Batalavi

Two Punjabi Verses

You came to me in dreams,
I leapt to embrace you.
But you were pure light,
I could not hold you.
My arms kept trembling.

~Bhai Veer Singh

***

I will die young
I will pass away full of life
He who dies young
Becomes a flower or a star

~Shiv Batalavi
