Kahin Mushtaq Se Hijab Hua — Dagh Dehlvi
Meaning
At times You concealed Yourself from the yearning lover, and at other times You lifted the veil before him.
Explanation
This couplet captures the tender and bewildering dance of love, applicable to both earthly romance and the mystic's quest for the Divine. The Beloved plays a divine game of hide-and-seek: sometimes retreating behind a veil right before an intensely yearning heart, and at other times casually lifting the curtain to reveal pure grace. It reminds us that spiritual revelation cannot be forced or demanded by the seeker; it is entirely a gift bestowed at the Beloved's own sweet will.
