जबीन नामा-ए-यार का मुँह से लिया और हवा वाक़िआ तो बहुत है इश्क़ का और हवा
— Shah Turab Ali Qalandar
Meaning

I pressed the beloved's letter to my forehead and kissed it, and it vanished into the wind; love is full of countless such incidents, and this too became just another one.

Explanation

Imagine holding a cherished letter from your beloved, pressing it with deep reverence to your forehead and lips, only to feel the moment instantly dissolve into thin air. The poet plays tenderly with the phrase 'aur hawa', evoking both the sudden disappearance of the beloved's presence and the fleeting, airy nature of joy. In the grand, sorrowful history of love, so many tales are told, and this deeply personal episode, too, simply scattered like dust upon the wind.
