दरमियाँ पा-ए-नज़र है जब तक हम को दा'वा नहीं बीनाई का
— Altaf Hussain Hali
Meaning

As long as our gaze remains caught in between and falls short, we make no claim to possessing true vision.

Explanation

Here, the poet uses the striking metaphor of the gaze having 'feet' that get caught or stumble along the way. As long as our perception remains trapped by intermediaries, illusions, and superficial boundaries, we have no right to boast of true vision. To genuinely 'see' means possessing spiritual insight that cuts through all veils to reach the ultimate truth.
