mahrūm huuñ maiñ ḳhidmat-e-ustād se 'munīr'
kalkatta mujh ko gor se bhī tañg ho gayā
mahrum hun main KHidmat-e-ustad se 'munir'
kalkatta mujh ko gor se bhi tang ho gaya

koī chhīñTā paḌe to 'dāġh' kalkatte chale jaa.eñ
azīmābād meñ ham muntazir sāvan ke baiThe haiñ
Interpretation:
Rekhta AI
The couplet turns a tiny “splash” of rain into a signal for departure: a slight hint is enough to awaken an old desire. Waiting for Sawan (monsoon) becomes a metaphor for waiting for relief, union, or a change of fate. The speaker’s heart is so restless that it cannot endure delay; it clings to signs and moves the moment hope appears. Distance between places mirrors the inner distance between longing and fulfillment.
