Sau Baar Mar Ke Aashiq-e-jaan-baakhta Tera — Sheikh Ibrahim Zauq
Meaning
Your lover, who gambled away his life dying a hundred times, once more stood ready to die before the six-sided dice.
Explanation
Your lover, who has already given up his life for you a hundred times over, stands ready to die yet again. The poet uses the image of dice, where every roll keeps him in the game of risk. No matter how many times love has broken him, he rises once more, facing fate like a gambler who refuses to walk away from the table. It speaks of devotion so deep that death itself becomes just another turn, another chance to prove his love. There is no fear here, only a steady willingness to lose everything again and again for the beloved.
