In these regions, oral poetry was a way of life. A poet (Shairi) would only perform if the audience was deemed worthy of the verses. The phrase is often used ironically in social media comments when a post is misunderstood by 'trolls' or inattentive readers. Teachers frequently use this to instill a sense of 'active listening' in students, moving away from rote memorization to understanding.
