क्यूँ रहे मेरी दुआ मिन्नत-कश-ए-बाल-ए-मलक नाला-ए-मस्ताना मेरे आसमाँ-पैमा हैं आप
— Nazm Tabatabai
Meaning

Why should my prayer be indebted to the wing of an angel to reach the heavens? My ecstatic sighs are themselves capable of traversing the skies.

Explanation

The poet takes immense pride in the sheer, unbridled power of his passion, wondering why his heartfelt prayers should ever depend on the wings of angels to reach the heavens. His ecstatic sighs and cries of love are so potent and boundless that they can measure and traverse the sky entirely on their own. It is a stunning celebration of pure human devotion and longing—a love so intense that it transcends the need for any celestial intermediary.
