Aa Pade Do So Baras Ke Murda-e-bejaan Mein Jaan — Nazeer Akbarabadi
Meaning
Even a lifeless corpse dead for two hundred years would come back to life, if only for two brief moments your kindness were to fall upon it.
Explanation
The poet is praising the power of his beloved's kindness. He says that even a lifeless body, dead for two hundred years, would spring back to life if your gentle grace rested upon it for just a couple of moments. In other words, your favour is so full of warmth and life-giving power that it can revive the hopeless, awaken the weary, and breathe spirit into what seems utterly gone. It is a beautiful way of saying that a single kind glance from the beloved can heal and restore anyone, no matter how broken they feel.
