dil ko niyaz-e-hasrat-e-didar kar chuke
dil ko niyāz-e-hasrat-e-dīdār kar chuke
dekhā to ham meñ tāqat-e-dīdār bhī nahīñ
for a glimpse I sacrificed, my heart to this degree
that when I looked I found I had not the strength to see
Interpretation:
Rekhta AI
The couplet turns longing into a “niyaz” (a humble devotion): the heart is devoted to desire itself. Yet fulfillment exposes a cruel irony—when the beloved (or truth) appears, the lover lacks the capacity to endure it. The emotional core is the collapse of imagined ecstasy into weakness, where attainment feels heavier than separation.
