Those who yearn for the shelter of your mantle would not pause to catch their breath even for a single moment under the shade of the heavenly Tuba tree.
In this evocative verse, the poet compares the divine shade of the celestial Tūbā tree in Paradise to the sheltering hem of the beloved's garment. Tooba represents the ultimate heavenly peace, yet the true lover would not pause there even for a single breath if they long for the beloved's presence. For the heart truly in love, no promise of heaven can ever match the sanctuary found in the closeness of the one they cherish.
