Rahbar-e-khizr-o-hadi-e-ilyas — Dagh Dehlvi
Meaning
You have bestowed upon me such a guide who is a mentor even to Khizr and a leader to Ilyas.
Explanation
In Eastern lore, Khizr and Ilyas are legendary figures believed to guide travelers who lose their way across vast deserts and stormy seas. Here, the poet expresses overwhelming gratitude to the Divine for granting him a spiritual mentor whose enlightenment is so profound that he could guide these mythical guides themselves. It is a deeply moving and devoted tribute to finding a teacher who truly transforms and illuminates one's soul.
