Mohabbat Ka Tiri Banda Har Ik Ko Ai Sanam Paya — Khwaja Haidar Ali Aatish
Meaning
O idol, I found everyone to be a slave of your love; I found the necks of both the king and the beggar equally bowed.
Explanation
The poet says that everyone, no matter who they are, has become a servant of your love, my beloved. Love does not care about rank or status. Whether someone is a mighty king or a humble beggar, the poet found both of their necks bowed equally before you. In the presence of love, all differences disappear. Power and poverty mean nothing here. The proud king and the poor beggar stand on the same level, their heads lowered in devotion. This is the beautiful truth of love. It makes everyone equal, humbling even the greatest and lifting the lowliest, so that all hearts bow together before the one they adore.
