Intiha Ishq Ki Khuda Jaane — Dagh Dehlvi
इंतिहा इश्क़ की ख़ुदा जाने
दम-ए-आख़िर को इब्तिदा कहिए
— Dagh Dehlvi
Meaning
Only God knows the extreme limit of love; one should consider even the final breath to be just the beginning.
Explanation
In this touching couplet, the poet reflects on the infinite, boundless nature of true love. While we usually imagine death as the final end of our longing, the lover’s last breath is framed here as merely the doorway to an eternal journey. Love transcends the mortal body, suggesting that what feels like the very end in this world is where love’s true, divine reality actually begins.
