तुम मिलोगे न वहाँ भी हम से हश्र से पहले गिला करते हैं
— Dagh Dehlvi
Meaning

You will not meet us even there (on the Day of Reckoning), which is why we are voicing our complaint beforehand.

Explanation

In ghazal tradition, the lover often clings to the hope that even if reunion is denied in this life, it will surely happen on 'Hashr'—the Day of Reckoning. But here, the poet's despair is so profound that he is convinced the beloved's cold indifference will persist even on that cosmic day. Knowing that even eternity holds no promise of meeting, he voices all his sorrow and gentle grievances right now, without waiting for the end of time.
