नहीं रखने देते जहाँ पाँव हम को उसी आस्ताने पे सर देख लेना
— Dagh Dehlvi
Meaning

Where they do not even allow us to set foot, you will see our head placed on that very threshold.

Explanation

This couplet captures the fierce resolve and ultimate devotion of a lover against outright rejection. At the very threshold where he is forbidden to even set foot, he promises that one day they will find his bowed head, surrendered in devotion or sacrifice. The striking contrast between 'feet' and 'head' turns cruel exclusion into an enduring triumph of love and surrender.
