निसार उस के क़दम ऊपर करूँ अंझुवाँ के गौहर सब अगर करने कूँ दिल-जूई वो सर्व-ए-ख़ुश-अदा निकले
— Wali Dakhani
Meaning

If that gracefully moving beloved steps forth to comfort my heart, I will sacrifice and scatter all the pearls of my tears at their feet.

Explanation

The poet captures a poignant romance where sorrow transforms into a precious offering. Tears shed in longing are elevated to radiant pearls, not wasted in bitterness but saved as a devotion to be scattered at the beloved's feet. There is a deep, tender yearning: if only that graceful beloved, standing tall and elegant like a cypress tree, would step forward to soothe a grieving heart, every ounce of pain would instantly become a worthwhile sacrifice.
