करम से तेरे तू नज़दीक हो किसी दिन आ न पूछ घर से तेरे घर बईद है मेरा
— Shah Turab Ali Qalandar
Meaning

Out of your grace, please come close and visit me someday; do not ask how far my house is from yours.

Explanation

In this tender couplet, the lover confesses the vast, seemingly impossible distance that separates his humble world from the beloved's. Knowing that his own efforts fall short of bridging this gap, he places all his hope in the beloved's grace, asking them to take the step instead. It is a moving meditation on vulnerability, where physical separation mirrors an emotional or spiritual gulf that only unconditional kindness can heal.
