कोई काहे को सज्दा उन को करता बुतों में हक़ अगर पिन्हाँ न होता
— Khwaja Ruknuddin Ishq
Meaning

Why would anyone bow in prostration before idols if the Divine Truth were not concealed within them?

Explanation

This couplet touches upon the profound mystical idea that the Divine is omnipresent and hidden within every form. The poet gently suggests that people do not simply prostrate before stone idols or earthly beauties for their own sake, but because the spark of absolute Truth resides within them. It bridges the sacred and the worldly, reminding us that all true love and devotion are quietly drawn to that secret divine presence.
