थी जहाँ कारवाँ को देनी राह इश्क़ को रहनुमा किया तू ने
— Altaf Hussain Hali
Meaning

Where the caravan was to be shown the way, you made love its guide.

Explanation

This couplet paints a striking picture of a wandering caravan in need of direction, where instead of cold logic, love itself is chosen as the guide. Reason seeks safety, but love embraces vulnerability and passion, turning the entire journey into a spiritual pursuit rather than a safe passage. It gently reminds us that when navigating life's vast desert, letting the heart lead may be reckless to the world, but it is the only path that truly transforms the soul.
