If He had not shown it, how could we have ever seen it? We were able to perceive that divine Light only by means of that very Light itself.

This couplet touches upon a profound mystical truth with breathtaking simplicity: we cannot fathom the Divine through our own limited human senses. Just as the sun can only be seen through the very light it radiates upon the world, the Supreme Light reveals itself only through its own grace. The poet gently reminds us that even our yearning to see and understand the Beloved is not our own doing, but an illumination bestowed by the Divine itself.
