Mire Khayal Se Bhi Aah Mujh Ko Buad Raha — Jigar Moradabadi
Meaning
Alas, there always remained a distance between me and my very thought; I tried in a thousand ways, but equality could never be achieved.
Explanation
Here, the poet speaks of an agonizing helplessness where even the mind's imagination falls short of reaching the beloved. We usually feel that our thoughts belong to us and can bridge any gap, yet an unbridgeable distance remained even in his deepest reverie. No matter how many ways he tried to close the divide and achieve a sense of union, the beloved remained entirely beyond reach.
