दीद की अपने थी उसे ख़्वाहिश आप को हर तरह बना देखा
— Shah Niyaz Ahmad Barelvi
Meaning

He had a desire to behold Himself, so He fashioned and observed Himself in every possible form.

Explanation

This couplet touches upon a profound mystical thought: the entire cosmos is essentially the Divine looking into a mirror. Driven by an intimate longing to behold His own boundless beauty, the Creator manifested in endless forms, experiencing Himself through every creature and every hue of existence. It portrays creation not as a cold mechanical act, but as a tender, artistic quest for self-discovery and love.
