Khuda Ki Yaad Dilate The Naza Mein Ahbaab — Momin Khan Momin
Meaning
At the moment of death my friends kept reminding me of God; a thousand thanks that even then He did not grow suspicious of me.
Explanation
Picture the final moments of life. As the poet lies dying, his friends gather close and gently remind him to remember God. But here's the playful twist. The poet is so lost in love for his beloved that he jokes about this. He says, a thousand thanks that at that very moment, his beloved didn't become suspicious. Why suspicious? Because if the beloved heard him taking another name, even God's name, she might have felt jealous or doubted his devotion. It's a tender, witty way of saying his heart belonged completely to his beloved, even at death's door. Love, for him, outshone everything else.
