Khabar Nahin Ki Use Kya Hua Par Us Dar Par — Momin Khan Momin

ख़बर नहीं कि उसे क्या हुआ पर उस दर पर निशान या नज़र आता है नामा-बर का सा
— Momin Khan Momin

Meaning

There is no news of what happened to him, yet on that door appears a trace or sign, as if of the messenger.

Explanation

The poet doesn't know what became of the messenger he sent to his beloved. There's no news of him at all. And yet, when he looks toward the beloved's door, he seems to catch a faint trace, a shadow, a hint of that messenger lingering there. It could be hope playing tricks, or it could be real. The heart, aching for word, sees signs everywhere. Even in uncertainty, the longing keeps watch at that doorway, hoping something will finally arrive.
