हक़ हुआ किस से अदा उस की वफ़ादारी का
जिस के नज़दीक जफ़ा बाइस-ए-आज़ार नहीं
— Altaf Hussain Hali
Meaning
Who could ever truly repay the loyalty of someone for whom even cruelty is not a cause of pain or torment?
Explanation
This couplet touches upon a kind of devotion so pure and boundless that it becomes impossible to match. The poet wonders how anyone could ever repay the loyalty of a lover who endures heartbreak and cruelty without ever feeling aggrieved or holding a grudge. When even suffering is embraced without complaint, love rises above ordinary transactions, leaving a debt that no one can ever settle.
