Iqraar-e-mulaaqaat Ho Har Ik Se Ba-sad Mehr — Nazeer Akbarabadi
Meaning
You promise a meeting to everyone with a hundredfold affection; yet, if you consider it, refusal is reserved for me alone.
Explanation
Here the poet gently complains about his beloved's partiality. You promise to meet everyone else with a hundred kindnesses, with such warmth and affection. But when you truly think about it, the only one you refuse, the only one you turn away, is me. There is a soft ache in these words, the pain of feeling singled out for rejection. Everyone receives your sweetness, yet I alone am denied. It captures that familiar heartache of loving someone who is open and generous with the whole world, but keeps a cold distance only from you.
