ज़िक्र हर सुब्ह ओ शाम है तेरा
विर्द-ए-आशिक़ कूँ नाम है तेरा
— Shakir Naji
Meaning
Every morning and evening is filled with your remembrance, and your name has become the lover's constant chant.
Explanation
In this couplet, love is elevated to the level of a sacred, unceasing ritual. By framing remembrance across 'morning and evening', the poet shows that no moment passes without the beloved dwelling in the lover's thoughts. The beloved's name becomes a 'wird'—a holy chant recited in continuous meditation—transforming everyday longing into a deeply spiritual devotion.
