By writing about the excellence of your lofty nature, my pen became famous throughout the world as a scribe with the skill of Mercury.

In classical astrology and Persian-Urdu poetry, Mercury (Utarid) is celebrated as the celestial scribe—the master of learning and the pen. Here, the poet graciously turns all credit away from himself, saying his pen only achieved world-wide fame because it chose to write about the beloved's noble and exalted nature. It is a breathtaking compliment: the sheer majesty of your grace is so immense that merely chronicling it elevated my humble pen to cosmic greatness.
