tu kahin ho dil-e-diwana wahan pahunchega
tū kahīñ ho dil-e-dīvāna vahāñ pahuñchegā
sham.a hogī jahāñ parvāna vahāñ pahuñchegā
Interpretation:
Rekhta AI
Bahadur Shah Zafar likens the lover’s heart to a moth drawn to a candle. The idea is that true desire and devotion have a natural pull: distance and obstacles cannot stop them. The second line strengthens the first by giving a familiar image of irresistible attraction. The emotion is steadfast longing, even if it risks pain or burning.

shama hogi jahan parwana wahan pahunchega
