हवास-ओ-होश गुम हैं बहर-ए-इरफ़ान-ए-इलाही में यही दरिया है जिस में मौज को साहिल नहीं मिलता
— Akbar Allahabadi
Meaning

All senses and consciousness are lost in the ocean of divine knowledge. This is such a river where a wave never finds a shore.

Explanation

The poet imagines divine awareness as a boundless, bottomless ocean where ordinary human logic and senses are completely overwhelmed and lost in wonder. The wave represents the restless seeker chasing after a destination or a shore, only to find that the reality of the Divine has no borders at all. In this spiritual path, losing oneself isn't a defeat—it is the highest form of enlightenment, where you dissolve happily into the infinite.
