Meri Khatir Ab Vo Taklif-e-tajalli Kyuun Karen — Jigar Moradabadi
मेरी ख़ातिर अब वो तकलीफ़-ए-तजल्ली क्यूँ करें
अपनी गर्द-ए-शौक़ में ख़ुद ही छुपा जाता हूँ मैं
— Jigar Moradabadi
Meaning
Why should the beloved take the trouble of revealing their radiance for my sake, when I already hide myself away in the dust of my own yearning?
Explanation
Here, the poet blends deep humility with the frenzy of true longing. He gently wonders why the beloved should bother unveiling their dazzling radiance, when the sheer dust stirred up by his own restless passion is enough to conceal him. Beautifully, the lover's own overwhelming desire becomes the very veil that hides him, sparing the beloved any effort.
