Jahannam Ho Ki Jannat Jo Bhi Hoga Faisla Hoga — Jigar Moradabadi
Meaning
Whether the final judgment turns out to be hell or heaven, whatever is decided will happen; is it any small matter that we will at least come face to face with them?
Explanation
In this couplet, the poet expresses a fearless and intoxicating devotion where the fear of hell and the promise of heaven both fade into insignificance. The Day of Reckoning loses all its terror because it brings the one thing the lover has always ached for: a direct, face-to-face meeting with the Beloved, be it God or an earthly love. For true lovers, just being in the presence of the beloved is a reward far greater than paradise itself.
