चश्म-ए-तहक़ीक़ से जहाँ ढूँडा गब्र हूँ तुझ सिवा अगर देखा
— Khwaja Ruknuddin Ishq
Meaning

I searched the entire world through the eye of deep inquiry; consider me an infidel if I ever saw anyone other than You.

Explanation

Here, the poet speaks from the heart of a deep spiritual journey, examining the world not with blind faith, but with the discerning eye of true inquiry ('chashm-e-tahqeeq'). Looking at creation with this penetrating gaze, he finds that every single atom reflects nothing but the presence of the Divine. His conviction in this oneness is so absolute that to perceive any duality, or anything other than the Beloved, would in his eyes be the ultimate act of infidelity.
