This couplet speaks of those who intensely yearn for a glimpse of you; those who are prepared to sacrifice their lives for your sake; and those slaves ready to surrender themselves without cost on your path; may those moments of bliss return once again.
Bulleh Shah speaks here about the profound depth of divine yearning (Ishq). He addresses those souls who are completely consumed by longing and are ready to sacrifice everything—their lives, their comforts—for a mere glimpse of the beloved. It is a powerful declaration of absolute surrender. The Shayar yearns for the return of those transcendental moments of bliss, reminding us that true devotion knows no price or measure.
