You alone are my goal, and besides you, I know no one in existence.

This profound couplet captures the essence of absolute devotion. The poet declares that for him, the beloved is the sole purpose (maqsad) of existence. He suggests that in the grand tapestry of life, the beloved is the only reality he acknowledges. It’s a declaration that the world outside of that single connection holds no meaning or significance. It speaks to a love that is total, unwavering, and all-consuming.
