मूसा ने जिसे जल्वा-नुमा तूर से देखा कल्बर्क़ उसे मैंने भी कल दूर से देखा
— Shah Turab Ali Qalandar
Meaning

That divine splendor which Moses saw manifested on Mount Tur, I too caught a glimpse of it yesterday from afar, shining like a flash of lightning.

Explanation

This couplet draws upon the mystical story of Prophet Moses on Mount Sinai, where the divine glory manifested in an overwhelming burst of light. The poet compares his beloved's beauty to that sacred radiance, saying that while Moses witnessed it on the mountain, he too caught a fleeting, breathtaking glimpse of it yesterday—flashing past like lightning. It captures the sheer intensity of love, where seeing the beloved for even a split second feels like an encounter with the divine.
