क़ूव्वत-ए-दस्त-ए-ख़ुदाई है शकेबाई में वक़्त जब आ के पड़ा है यही काम आई है
— Altaf Hussain Hali
Meaning

Patience holds the power of God's own hand; whenever a difficult time befell, it is this very endurance that came to the rescue.

Explanation

In this couplet, the poet elevates patience—or 'shakebaai'—from passive waiting to an active, divine force, comparing it to the very strength of God's hand. When calamity or difficult times strike without warning, worldly remedies often fail, and only quiet endurance proves to be a true protector. It is a comforting reminder that within human resilience lies a sacred fortitude that helps us survive life's hardest storms.
