इश्क़ को तर्क-ए-जुनूँ से क्या ग़रज़ चर्ख़-ए-गर्दां को सुकूँ से क्या ग़रज़
— Altaf Hussain Hali
Meaning

Love has no concern with giving up its madness, just as the revolving sky has nothing to do with rest or stillness.

Explanation

This couplet draws a striking parallel between the perpetual motion of the cosmos and the untamed intensity of love. Just as the rotating heavens cannot pause their eternal spin, true love cannot exist without its wild madness (junoon). To ask a lover to be calm or sensible is as futile as expecting the universe itself to come to a standstill.
