ऐ सजन आया हूँ हो बे-इख़्तियार तुझ कूँ अपना राहत-ए-जाँ बूझ कर
— Wali Dakhani
Meaning

O beloved, I have come to you completely helpless and without any control over myself, knowing you to be the solace of my soul.

Explanation

In this tender verse, the lover arrives in complete surrender, having lost all restraint and control over their own heart. Drawn purely by an irresistible pull, their approach is not calculated but an instinctive flight toward the beloved. Calling the sweetheart 'rahat-e-jaan' reveals that in the beloved's presence lies the ultimate solace, a quiet sanctuary where an exhausted soul finally finds peace.
