Dam-e-hisaab Raha Roz-e-hashr Yahi Hai Zikr — Momin Khan Momin
Meaning
Even at the time of reckoning on the Day of Judgment, the talk was only this: where was the tale of our love not spoken of?
Explanation
Imagine the Day of Judgment, when every deed is weighed and accounted for. And yet, the poet says, even there the talk was not of sins or good deeds, but of love. His passion had become so famous, so widely discussed, that it followed him right up to that final reckoning. He asks with a gentle smile: where did the story of my love not reach? It spread everywhere, in every corner of the world, and now even here, on the last day, people speak of it. There is pride and tenderness in these words. Love, for him, is not a small private feeling but something grand enough to be remembered on the greatest of all days.
