Didar Ka To Vada Mahshar Mein Dekh Kar Kar — Mir Taqi Mir

दीदार का तो वा'दा महशर में देख कर कर बीमार ग़म में तेरे तब तक तो क्या रहेगा
— Mir Taqi Mir

Meaning

I will witness the promise of seeing you on the Day of Judgment; what will remain in your illness of sorrow until then?

Explanation

This beautiful couplet speaks to the overwhelming power of faith and eternal promise. Mir Taqi Mir suggests that if the lover has the assurance of seeing their beloved in the afterlife (Mahshar), then what earthly sorrow or heartache can possibly weigh them down? The promise of reunion in the next life makes all temporary, mortal pains seem trivial. It’s a profound meditation on hope that transcends death.
