लश्कर-ए-ग़म ने दिल सीं कूच किया जब से इस में मक़ाम है तेरा
— Shakir Naji
Meaning

Ever since you made my heart your dwelling place, the army of grief has departed from it.

Explanation

Here, the poet envisions sorrow not merely as a feeling, but as an occupying army that had taken over the fortress of the heart. The moment the beloved enters and makes the heart their dwelling, that heavy legion of grief has no choice but to retreat in haste. It is a tender reminder of how love's quiet arrival can effortlessly drive away years of deep-seated pain.
