Oh, if the longed-for truth could ever appear in a guise or illusion, know that countless prostrations are yearning within the plea of my life.

This profound couplet speaks to the struggle between reality and illusion. The poet pleads with the awaited 'truth' (Haqiqat) not to appear in the guise of mere imagination (Majaz). Why? Because his heart, his very being, is yearning for so many prostrations (Sajdas) in the place of need (Niyaz). It's a deep plea: let the truth reveal itself in its pure form, not disguised by fleeting appearances.
