ਮੈਂ ਵਾਰੀ ਆਪਣੇ ਰਾਮ ਦੇ, ਜਿਸ ਮਿਲਿਆਂ ਦੁਖ ਜਾਂਦੇ।" — Bhai Vir Singh, Mere Sayian Jio

Bhai Vir Singh wrote this during a period when he had lost close companions and was navigating the grief of watching traditional Punjabi Sikh life erode under colonial pressure. He was not speaking abstractly about suffering — he was writing from inside it, after real deaths and real dislocations. This line names something specific: that grief does not just fade on its own, but lifts when something greater than the loss is present. For anyone carrying a loss today, that is not a small claim — it is a direct one.
