ये किस का तसव्वुर है ये किस का फ़साना है
जो अश्क है आँखों में तस्बीह का दाना है
— Jigar Moradabadi
Meaning
Whose thought and whose story is this, that every tear in the eyes has become like a bead of a rosary?
Explanation
The poet creates a breathtaking image where the sorrow of longing is elevated into an act of sacred devotion. Each tear shed in remembrance of the beloved is envisioned as a bead of a prayer rosary (tasbeeh), turning quiet grief into continuous prayer. It beautifully captures how, in deep love, the act of remembering someone becomes indistinguishable from worship.
