तेरी बातों से आज तो वाइ'ज़
वो जो थी ख़्वाहिश-ए-नजात गई
— Jigar Moradabadi
Meaning
O preacher, listening to your talks today, even whatever desire for salvation I had has vanished.
Explanation
There is a delightful, dry wit here aimed directly at the dogmatic preacher. The poet playfully suggests that the sermon was so joyless, stern, and exhausting that it killed off whatever desire for heaven he actually had. It is a gentle reminder that when faith is stripped of warmth and love, it alienates the very souls it seeks to save.
