Isi Ummid Par Ham Taliban-e-dard Jiite Hain — Jigar Moradabadi
Meaning
We, the seekers of pain, live only on this hope: how blessed is the pain given by you, for it will be yours and completely incurable.
Explanation
In this poignant verse, the poet flips our idea of suffering on its head, showing that in deep love, heartache is embraced rather than feared. The lovers call themselves 'seekers of sorrow' who endure life only in the hope of receiving an agony so profound and incurable that nothing can wash it away. For the devoted lover, this wound is a sacred gift—the ultimate proof of their connection to the beloved.
