मिरा दिल अश्क हो पहुँचा है कूचे में सिरीजन के गया काबे में ये कश्ती-सवार आहिस्ता-आहिस्ता
— Wali Dakhani
Meaning

My heart turned into a tear and reached the beloved's lane; like a passenger on a boat, it slowly arrived at the Kaaba.

Explanation

In this tender verse, the poet imagines his melted heart turning into a tear, drifting softly toward the beloved's street. For the lover, reaching the beloved’s threshold is no ordinary journey—it is like a sacred pilgrim slowly sailing across the ocean to enter the holy Kaaba. The metaphor beautifully weaves devotion, patient longing, and deep reverence into a single, quiet voyage.
