Arzu-e-chashma-e-kausar Na.iin — Wali Dakhani
आरज़ू-ए-चश्मा-ए-कौसर नईं
तिश्ना-लब हूँ शर्बत-ए-दीदार का
— Wali Dakhani
Meaning
I have no desire for the heavenly spring of Kausar; I am merely thirsty for the sweet nectar of catching a glimpse of my beloved.
Explanation
In this tender couplet, the poet gently sets aside even the most sacred reward of paradise—the sweet celestial waters of the spring of Kausar. His thirst is far more intimate; his lips crave only the sweet nectar of catching a single glimpse of the beloved. It is a timeless ode to love where the presence of the beloved easily eclipses all the promised luxuries of the afterlife.
