Jab Makan-o-la-makan Sab Se Guzar Jaata Huun Main — Jigar Moradabadi
Meaning
When I pass beyond both the realm of space and the spaceless void, to my utter wonder, I find You occupying my very own place.
Explanation
Here, the poet captures the ultimate mystical journey of transcending both the physical world ('makan') and the vast abstract void beyond ('la-makan'). After wandering through the entire cosmos and dissolving the self, the seeker is struck by a breathtaking revelation: the Divine was never far away, but dwelling at the very core of his own heart. The joyful cry 'Allah Allah!' reflects that pure wonder where the ego fades away, and nothing remains in one's place except the Beloved.
