बहुत हज़ उठाता है दिल तुझ से मिल कर क़लक़ देखिए क्या हुआ चाहता है
— Altaf Hussain Hali
Meaning

My heart experiences immense joy upon meeting you; now let us see what sorrow or pain is about to follow.

Explanation

This couplet captures that bittersweet instinct in love where overwhelming joy immediately gives rise to a quiet dread. The lover revels in the pure delight of being near the beloved, yet the heart cannot shake the feeling that fate will soon demand a heavy tax in sorrow. It touches upon a universal human anxiety—the fear that when happiness feels too complete, heartbreak cannot be far behind.
