Jab Vo Aa.e To Pesh-tar Sab Se — Jigar Moradabadi
Meaning
When they arrived, before anything else, my eyes were granted permission to sleep.
Explanation
This couplet captures the bittersweet irony of human longing with stunning tenderness. After an agonizing, sleepless wait for the beloved, the very moment they finally arrive, the lover’s eyes are granted 'permission to sleep' or dream. It hints at two profound emotional layers: either the soul is so utterly at peace by their presence that restless eyes can finally rest, or it reflects a tragic twist of fate where, exhausted by waiting, one slips into a dream just when reality is about to unfold.
