Ai Vali Sarv-qad Ko Dekhunga — Wali Dakhani
ऐ 'वली' सर्व-क़द को देखूँगा
वक़्त आया है सरफ़राज़ी का
— Wali Dakhani
Meaning
O Wali, I will look upon that beloved with a cypress-like tall stature; the time has arrived to raise my head high in pride and honor.
Explanation
Wali plays here with a delightful and clever double meaning. To gaze upon a beloved who is tall and graceful like a cypress tree, one naturally has to tilt their head upward—and that physical act of raising the head becomes 'sarfarazi', the metaphor for supreme honor and pride. For a devoted lover, simply looking up at the beloved is life's ultimate triumph.
