As a kid I remember sitting down to pretend study for exams, daydreaming. My grandmother would say “Pad Pad gaya Pather, Likh likh gaya Chor”….Just realized it’s sufi kalam of Samad Mir ( (c.1893 – 1959)
Pad Pad gaya Pather,
Pad Pad gaya Pather,
Likh likh gaya Chor
Jis padnay say Sahil mile
woh padna hai oor
Reading, reading,
I became a stone
Writing, writing,
I became thief
It is something else
the study that gets you ashore
