आलम-ए-अरवाह का हुआ पैदा शुक्र-ए-हस्ती हुआ सुजूद हुआ
— Khwaja Ruknuddin Ishq
Meaning

When the world of souls was brought into existence, gratitude was expressed for being given life, and prostration was offered.

Explanation

This couplet captures the primordial moment of creation, taking us back to the 'realm of souls' before the physical world was made. The poet imagines that the very first realization of conscious existence sparked an overwhelming sense of gratitude, which naturally blossomed into a reverent prostration. It portrays existence itself not as a given, but as a wondrous divine gift whose immediate, heartfelt response is pure humility and devotion.
