ब'अद मेरे न रहा इश्क़ की मंज़िल का निशाँ मिट गए राह-रौ ओ राहगुज़र दोनों साथ
— Nazm Tabatabai
Meaning

After me, no trace of love's destination remained; both the traveler and the path were wiped out together.

Explanation

This couplet carries a haunting sense of finality and supreme devotion. The poet suggests that the path of love was never a pre-existing road, but something brought to life entirely by his own tireless footsteps. When the lover departs, the path itself fades into dust with him, showing that the journey of passion exists only as long as there is a brave heart willing to walk it.
