हो मुलाक़ात तो सफ़ाई से और सफ़ाई नहीं तो फिर क्या है
— Bahadur Shah Zafar
Meaning

If a meeting takes place, it should be with genuine sincerity and an open heart; and if there is no sincerity, then such a meeting is utterly meaningless.

Explanation

In this couplet, the poet speaks to the true essence of any meaningful encounter—pure, unadorned sincerity. A meeting is hollow if the heart remains clouded with pretension, unspoken grudges, or doubt; true intimacy demands that both people come together with clear, honest minds. Without that transparent warmth, even the most anticipated reunion is nothing more than an empty formality.
