Your tresses are so immensely long that they have reached the ultimate boundary of darkness.
The poet is marveling with playful exaggeration at the staggering length and deep, obsidian blackness of the beloved's hair. In Urdu poetry, tresses are traditionally likened to the night, but here they are so remarkably long and dark that they have stretched all the way to the absolute frontier of darkness itself. It paints a bewitching image of love where the lover feels wonderfully entangled and lost within the sweet mystery of the beloved's beauty.
