बनेगा मेहर-ए-क़यामत भी एक ख़ाल-ए-सियाह जो चेहरा 'दाग़'-ए-सियह-रू ने आश्कार किया
— Dagh Dehlvi
Meaning

If this disgraced, dark-faced Dagh were to unveil that radiant face, even the blazing sun of Doomsday would appear merely as a black beauty mark before it.

Explanation

In this couplet, Daagh brings his signature dramatic flair and playful hyperbole to celebrate the beloved's blinding radiance. He imagines that if this dazzling face is ever unveiled, even the terrifying, scorching sun of the Day of Judgment would be reduced to nothing more than a tiny black beauty mark upon it. Playing cleverly on his pen name and calling himself 'siyaah-roo' (dark-faced or disgraced), the poet turns what should be the most overwhelming light in the universe into a mere speck before the beloved's supreme beauty.
