बाक़ी जहाँ में क़ैस न फ़रहाद रह गया अफ़्साना आशिक़ों का फ़क़त याद रह गया
— Dagh Dehlvi
Meaning

Neither Qais nor Farhad remained in this world; only the story of these lovers has been left behind in memory.

Explanation

In this evocative couplet, the poet reflects on Qais (Majnun) and Farhad, the legendary icons of passionate romance who have long since vanished from this world. Though the lovers themselves have turned to dust, their unyielding devotion has outlived them, surviving as timeless folklore. It is a tender reminder that while human lives are fleeting, the legend and spirit of true love remain immortal.
