पर्दा-ए-चश्म थे हिजाब बहुत हुस्न को ख़ुद-नुमा किया तू ने
— Altaf Hussain Hali
Meaning

There were already many veils covering the eyes, yet You made beauty reveal and manifest itself.

Explanation

This couplet captures the tender paradox of longing and revelation between the lover and the divine or beloved. The poet gently sighs that our mortal eyes were already blinded by countless inner veils and limitations, yet You chose to lay beauty bare for the world to see. By stepping into the open, this irresistible beauty leaves the heart helpless, turning what was once quiet ignorance into the sweet, overwhelming ache of devotion.
