नहो मस्त अलस्त अब वो क्यूँकर भला जिसे बादा-ए-अदक़ा लवास्त मिला
— Shah Turab Ali Qalandar
Meaning

Why should someone not be intoxicated with primal ecstasy when he has received the mystical wine of the primordial covenant?

Explanation

This couplet draws upon the mystical Islamic concept of the Primordial Covenant, the moment before creation when all souls tasted divine truth and affirmed their love for the Creator. The poet suggests that this eternal promise is like a sacred wine poured into the soul, leaving the lover perpetually intoxicated with divine love. It warmly reminds us that once a heart has touched pure spiritual grace, being swept away in wonder and ecstasy is the most natural thing in the world.
