देखता आप है, सुने है आप न कोई उस के मासिवा देखा
— Shah Niyaz Ahmad Barelvi
Meaning

He Himself is the one who sees and He Himself is the one who hears; I have never beheld anyone other than Him.

Explanation

This couplet touches on the core Sufi concept of 'Wahdat al-Wujud', or the unity of all existence. The poet reminds us that the Divine is not an aloof bystander watching from the clouds, but the very eyes that see and the ears that listen in every living being. When the illusion of separation fades away, you realize there never was an 'other'—it is only that single, boundless presence experiencing itself through all of us.
