वुसअत-ए-सई-ए-करम देख कि सर-ता-सर-ए-ख़ाक गुज़रे है आबला-पा अब्र-ए-गुहर-बार हुनूज़
— Mirza Ghalib
Meaning

Look at the boundless effort of grace and benevolence, that the pearl-showering cloud is still traversing the entire earth from end to end with blistered feet.

Explanation

Ghalib paints a breathtaking portrait of selfless generosity and grace. The cloud, carrying precious rain like a shower of pearls, wanders tirelessly across the scorched earth to quench its thirst, even though the arduous journey has blistered its feet. It beautifully captures the spirit of a true benefactor or lover who gladly bears immense pain just to bring life and joy to others.
