क़ामत से तेरे साने-ए-क़ुदरत ने ऐ हसीं दिखला दिया है हश्र को साँचे में ढाल के
— Akbar Allahabadi
Meaning

O beautiful one, the Creator of nature has displayed the very turmoil of Doomsday by casting it into the mold of your tall stature.

Explanation

In this couplet, the poet showers breathless praise on the beloved's striking grace and height. In classical Urdu poetry, the beloved's arrival is famously compared to the commotion of Doomsday ('Hashr'). The poet imagines God, the supreme artist, taking all the overwhelming turmoil and wonder of Judgment Day and pouring it directly into the mold of the beloved's physical form—making their beauty a walking, captivating catastrophe.
