मैं आशिक़ी में तब सूँ अफ़्साना हो रहा हूँ तेरी निगह का जब सूँ दीवाना हो रहा हूँ
— Wali Dakhani
Meaning

Ever since I became crazed with love by your gaze, I have turned into a legend in the world of romance.

Explanation

The poet captures that transformative moment when a single glance from the beloved changes everything forever. Using sweet, classical Dakhani phrasing, he confesses that the moment he was captivated by that gaze, madness took over and his life became an 'afsaana'—a celebrated legend on everyone's lips. It beautifully reminds us that intense passion doesn't just overwhelm the lover, it immortalizes them in the lore of love.
