Yaqin Hai Ki Ho Jaa.e Akhir Ko Sachchi — Dagh Dehlvi
Meaning
I am certain that it will finally turn out to be true, by the time your tongue finds its way into my mouth.
Explanation
This couplet plays brilliantly with the double meaning of 'zabaan'—referring both to the physical tongue and to one's spoken words or promises. On one layer, it paints an intensely intimate picture of lovers embracing, while on another, it reflects how the beloved's words and prophecies will only ring true once the lover fully absorbs their speech and voice. It is a tender, witty expression of how absolute closeness turns doubtful promises into undeniable reality.
