था वो बरतर सना-ओ-मा से नियाज़
फिर वही अब सना-ओ-मा देखा
— Shah Niyaz Ahmad Barelvi
Meaning
O Niyaz, He was once far beyond all praise and description, yet now He alone is seen in every praise and creation.
Explanation
In this mystical couplet, Shah Niyaz reflects on a profound shift in spiritual perception. Initially, the Divine seems entirely transcendent, far beyond the reach of human praise, thought, or language. But once the seeker's inner eyes open through love, they realize that God is not distant at all—He is the praise, the one who praises, and the sacred beauty seen in everything.
