गरेबाँ-चाक लाखों हाथ से उस मेहर-ए-तलअत के ब-रंग-ए-सुब्ह-ए-महशर अरसा-ए-महशर में आवेंगे
— Bahadur Shah Zafar
Meaning

Millions of lovers, with their collars torn by that sun-faced beloved, will arrive on the plains of Judgment Day just like the dawn of Doomsday.

Explanation

The poet paints a striking picture of how intensely the sun-faced beloved’s beauty affects the world. When millions of lovers who tore their collars in the delirium of love gather on the plains of Judgment Day, their ripped garments will look just like the dawn tearing through the sky. It is a stunning metaphor that compares the agony of countless broken-hearted lovers to the very crack of dawn that heralds the Day of Reckoning.
