हाजियो है हम को घर वाले से काम घर के मेहराब ओ सुतूँ से क्या ग़रज़
— Altaf Hussain Hali
Meaning

O pilgrims, our concern is solely with the master of the house (God); what do we care about the arches and pillars of the building?

Explanation

In this couplet, the poet gently addresses the pilgrims heading for the Kaaba, pointing out the subtle difference between mere ritual and genuine love. 'The Master of the house' is the Divine Himself, while the arches and pillars are just the outer physical architecture. It carries a beautiful Sufi wisdom: true devotion is not about revering walls and monuments, but about seeking an intimate, unmediated connection with the Beloved.
