वस्ल की ठहरावे ज़ालिम तो किसी सूरत से आज वर्ना ठहरी कुछ तिरे माइल के दिल में और है
— Bahadur Shah Zafar
Meaning

O cruel beloved, settle on our meeting in some way today, otherwise your lover has resolved something else entirely in his heart.

Explanation

Here, the lover delivers a tender yet daring ultimatum to the beloved: find a way for us to meet today, or face the consequences. By hinting that 'something quite different is resolved' in the heart, there is a subtle threat of taking a drastic step, perhaps succumbing to heartbreak or walking away forever. It perfectly captures that edge of desperation where endless waiting finally turns into a reckless, all-or-nothing resolve.
