हुआ तुझ इश्क़ सूँ ऐ आतिशीं-रू दिल मिरा पानी
कि ज्यूँ गलता है आतिश सूँ गुलाब आहिस्ता आहिस्ता
— Wali Dakhani
Meaning
O fiery-faced beloved, in your love my heart has melted into water, just as a rose slowly melts over fire.
Explanation
Wali Deccani captures the gentle, exquisite alchemy of love in this verse. Gazing upon the fiery, radiant beauty of the beloved, the poet's heart dissolves—not in violent destruction, but tenderly, just as rose petals yield their fragrant essence when slowly distilled over a soft flame. It speaks to a patient, sweet surrender where intense longing refines the lover's very soul into pure feeling.
