हस्ती के हक़ के सामने क्या अस्ल-ए-ईन-ओ-आँ पुतले ये सब हैं आप के वहम-ओ-ख़याल के
— Akbar Allahabadi
Meaning

What reality do 'this' and 'that' possess before the true truth of Existence? All of these are merely puppets created by your delusion and imagination.

Explanation

The poet reflects on a profound mystical truth, gently reminding us that before the supreme reality of existence, our worldly distinctions of 'this' and 'that' hold no real substance. The entire material world is likened to a puppet show, animated only by the fears, desires, and illusions of our own wandering minds. Once the veil of imagination drops, the puppet play vanishes, leaving behind only the singular and eternal Truth.
