Just now, something flashed like lightning before my eyes, and I could not understand whether it was your arrival or your departure.

This sher beautifully captures the breathtaking, fleeting impact of a beloved's glimpse. The poet compares the beloved's presence to a sudden flash of lightning—so intense and instantaneous that before the senses can even register the joy of their arrival, they are already gone. It captures that sweet, bewildering shock of love where the boundary between coming and going blurs into a single, dazzling moment.
