Kaafir Hai Munkir Uski Kareemi Ki Shaan Ka — Khwaja Haidar Ali Aatish
Meaning
One who denies the greatness of His generosity is an infidel; when did an empty bowl ever remain in the beggar's hand?
Explanation
This couplet praises the endless generosity of the Divine. The poet says that anyone who denies the glory of His giving is like a disbeliever, blind to the truth. Think of a beggar holding out his hands, asking for help. When has his cup ever stayed empty before such a Giver? The answer is never. God's kindness is so boundless that no one who truly asks goes away with nothing. It is a gentle reminder that His mercy always responds, and doubting that generosity means failing to see His true nature.
