उड़ाई ख़ाक जिस सहरा में तेरे वास्ते मैं ने
थका-माँदा मिला इन मंज़िलों में आसमाँ मुझ को
— Nazm Tabatabai
Meaning
In the desert where I wandered raising dust for your sake, I found even the sky tired and exhausted at those stages.
Explanation
Here, the lover speaks of a quest so relentless that even nature itself could not keep pace with it. Wandering through the barren desert of devotion and kicking up dust in longing, the poet traverses a journey so draining that even the boundless sky appears weary and defeated. It is a striking metaphor showing how the exhaustion of true, unfulfilled love can overwhelm the entire cosmos.
