किसी का वादा-ए-दीदार तो ऐ 'दाग़' बर-हक़ है मगर ये देखिए दिल-शाद उस दिन हम भी होते हैं
— Dagh Dehlvi
Meaning

O Dagh, their promise to grant a meeting is indeed true, but now it remains to be seen whether our heart actually finds joy on that day.

Explanation

In this couplet, Dagh touches upon the quiet weariness that often accompanies long-awaited hope. The beloved has indeed given a solemn promise to meet, and there is no reason to doubt it. Yet, the poet playfully, almost wistfully, wonders if his own heart will actually feel delight when that day comes. It is a tender reflection on how prolonged longing can leave the soul so numb that even the arrival of joy feels doubtful.
