कभी ज़िक्र-ए-दीदार आया तो बोले क़यामत से भी पेश-तर देख लेना
— Dagh Dehlvi
Meaning

Whenever the mention of seeing them arose, they said that you would see me even before the Day of Judgment.

Explanation

There is a delightful, teasing charm in this couplet. Whenever the lover longs for a glimpse, the beloved playfully raises the stakes by promising an encounter even before Doomsday. Beneath this sweet reassurance lies a dramatic boast—that the moment the beloved finally reveals their beauty, the sheer overwhelming wonder of that sight will bring about an apocalypse of its own.
