महशर में जा-ए-शिकवा किया शुक्र यार का जो भूलना था मुझ को वही याद रह गया
— Dagh Dehlvi
Meaning

On the Day of Judgment, instead of complaining, I ended up thanking my beloved, because the very thing I was supposed to forget was all that I remembered.

Explanation

Imagine standing on Judgment Day, the ultimate moment of reckoning where you finally have the right to complain about the lover who broke your heart. Yet, instead of listing his grievances, the poet finds himself giving thanks, having forgotten the pain and remembering only the beauty of having loved. It is a tender portrait of devotion, showing how true love effortlessly washes away bitterness, leaving behind only gratitude.
