The rising of Doomsday itself announced their arrival, and may God protect us now, as their face is turned toward the assembly.
The poet paints a delightfully dramatic picture of the beloved's arrival, comparing her presence to the earth-shattering stir of Doomsday itself. In poetic tradition, 'qayamat' represents both total turmoil and unmatched beauty; here, even the apocalypse stands in awe to announce her coming. Seeing her turn toward the gathering, the lover playfully gasps for divine mercy, knowing full well that no heart in the room can survive such breathtaking grace.
