Wali says that the thought of his indifferent beloved enters his heart slowly and gently, just as a dream quietly slips into the eyes.
Wali captures the quiet, hypnotic magic of longing in this classic couplet. Even though the beloved is distant and indifferent, their memory doesn't barge in with noise—it steals into the heart softly, just as a dream quietly slips into tired eyes. It is an exquisitely tender reminder of how love takes over our innermost thoughts, completely unnoticed and entirely irresistible.
