Baja Karte Hain Aashiq Taaq-e-abroo Ki Parastari — Khwaja Haidar Ali Aatish
Meaning
Lovers forever worship the arch of the beloved's eyebrow; I found this very same curve in the niche of the temple and the vault of the Kaaba too.
Explanation
The poet says lovers rightly worship the beautiful arch of their beloved's eyebrow. And he found that very same curve, that same bow-like bend, in the arch of the temple and the Kaaba too. In other words, whether in the house of idols or the house of God, he sees the same graceful curve he adores in his beloved's brow. The poet gently suggests that devotion and love spring from the same place. The bend of worship and the bend of the eyebrow become one, blurring the line between earthly love and the sacred.
