Khayal-e-yar Salamat Tujhe Khuda Rakkhe — Jigar Moradabadi
Meaning
May God keep the thought of my beloved safe and sound; without you, there was never any light in this home.
Explanation
Here, the poet addresses the thought and memory of the beloved as if it were a living companion, offering a heartfelt prayer for its preservation. The 'home' is a tender metaphor for the poet's lonely heart and inner world, which would otherwise be shrouded in the dark void of separation. Even in the beloved's physical absence, it is their lingering memory that acts as a faithful lamp, keeping the desolate soul warm and illuminated.
