जोश-ए-वहशत की मिरे देखो अजाइब कारियाँ दश्त को ज़र्रा तो ज़र्रा को बयाबाँ कर दिया
— Khwaja Azizul Hasan Majzoob
Meaning

Behold the wondrous wonders of the fervor of my frenzy; it reduced an entire desert to a speck of dust, and turned a mere speck into a vast wilderness.

Explanation

In this couplet, the poet marvels at the surreal power of his intense emotional frenzy or madness in love. When the heart is consumed by passion, our perception of reality warps: a vast desert feels as insignificant as a single speck of dust under his restless wanderings, while a tiny grain of sand can suddenly feel like an overwhelming, endless wilderness. It is a stunning reflection on how our inner emotional state completely reshapes the scale and vastness of the world around us.
