Aa Ga.i Aap Ko Masiha.i — Dagh Dehlvi
Meaning
Now that you have acquired the miraculous healing power of a Messiah, welcome those who are dying.
Explanation
In the poetic tradition, the beloved is often seen as a 'Messiah' capable of reviving the dead with a single glance. Here, the poet speaks with gentle wit and deep affection, telling the beloved that now that they possess the miraculous art of healing, they should warmly welcome those dying of love for them. It captures a bittersweet irony: lovers line up joyfully to sacrifice their lives, eager to see if the beloved will let them perish or bless them with new life.
