Jalta Huun Shab-o-roz Tire Gham Men Ai Sajan — Wali Dakhani
जलता हूँ शब-ओ-रोज़ तिरे ग़म में ऐ साजन
ये सोज़ तिरा मशअल-ए-सोज़ाँ सूँ कहूँगा
— Wali Dakhani
Meaning
O beloved, I burn day and night in sorrow over you. I will recount this burning agony of yours to the blazing torch.
Explanation
The poet speaks of an all-consuming separation that burns within him unceasingly, day and night. Realizing that ordinary people cannot fathom the sheer intensity of this inner fire, he turns to a flaming torch as his only true confidant. It is a deeply touching image of kindred suffering—believing that only another flame can genuinely understand what it feels like to burn alive in love.
