हश्र तक याँ दिल शकेबा चाहिए कब मिलें दिलबर से देखा चाहिए
— Altaf Hussain Hali
Meaning

Here, the heart must maintain patience until the Day of Resurrection; it remains to be seen when the meeting with the beloved will happen.

Explanation

The poet captures the staggering, endless nature of waiting in love, where a single human lifetime is simply not long enough to hold out for the beloved. To survive this longing, the heart must summon a monumental patience that endures until the Day of Judgment itself. Beneath the quiet, weary sigh of 'it remains to be seen' lies both gentle irony and the stubborn, unyielding devotion of a true lover.
