Gunahgar Ke Dil Se Na Bach Ke Chal Zahid — Jigar Moradabadi
Meaning
O ascetic, do not avoid or turn away from the sinner's heart, for somewhere right here, your paradise too is found.
Explanation
Here, the poet gently nudges the self-righteous ascetic not to look down upon a sinner's broken, remorseful heart. True divinity does not reside in cold ritualism or prideful purity, but in the humility and deep ache of repentance. By showing empathy rather than aloof judgment, the ascetic might realize that the divine grace—his true paradise—is discovered right there in connecting with broken souls.
