When those driven mad by your love set foot in the desert, even Majnun will kiss their feet, such is their greatness.
In Urdu poetry, Majnun is the ultimate archetype of romantic obsession, legendary for wandering the barren desert in absolute devotion. Here, the poet pays the beloved an extraordinary compliment: those driven mad by your beauty carry a passion so profound that even Majnun would bow in reverence to touch their feet. It turns the lover’s surrender into something legendary, suggesting that loving you demands a madness that surpasses classical myth.
