Tay Kistarah Se Hove Rah-e-ishq Dekhiye — Khwaja Haidar Ali Aatish
Meaning
Let us see how the road of love is to be traversed, when for us neither a milestone nor a marker-stone has any sway.
Explanation
The poet wonders how the journey of love can ever be completed. On an ordinary road, milestones and markers guide you and tell you how far you have come. But on the path of love, there are no such signs, no milestones to measure the distance. The poet says, let us see how this road is ever crossed, when we have neither a guiding stone nor a milestone to show the way. It beautifully captures the feeling of being lost in love, travelling a path with no map, no markers, and no clear end in sight.
