O God, never let anyone experience the night of separation; it is such a calamity that neither passes by enduring it, nor can it be warded off.
The poet captures the agonizing weight of 'shab-e-furqat'—the night of separation—describing it as an unavoidable calamity that freezes time itself. In the throes of heartbreak, every second stretches into an eternity, defying every effort to endure it or push it away. It reads as a deeply empathetic prayer, asking God to spare any living soul from the sheer helplessness of such endless loneliness.
