josh-e-rahmat ke waste zahid
josh-e-rahmat ke vāste zāhid
hai zarā sī gunāh-gārī shart
Interpretation:
Rekhta AI
Dagh Dehlvi uses irony to tease the zealot: divine mercy is most vividly felt where there is fault and remorse. The couplet suggests that the self-righteous, who claim spotless purity, may actually shut themselves off from the experience of رحمت. A tiny admission of human weakness becomes the door to forgiveness, turning “sin” into a metaphor for humility and need.
