Granting life is the work of your lips, and your lips are known by the very name of the life-giving breath of Jesus.
In classical Urdu poetry, the beloved is often portrayed as a healer whose presence can wake the dead. Here, the poet uses the timeless metaphor of 'Dam-e-Isa'—the miraculous, life-giving breath of Jesus—to celebrate the tender power of the beloved's lips. Whether it is through a kind word, a smile, or a kiss, the poet feels that those lips do not just speak; they restore life to a dying heart.
