हूर ओ फ़रिश्ता हैं असीर मेरे तख़य्युलात में
मेरी निगाह से ख़लल तेरी तजल्लियात में
— Allama Iqbal
Meaning
Oh, you are a fairy and an angel, captive in my imagination, and from my gaze, your divine manifestations are flawed.
Explanation
This profound couplet speaks to the intoxicating nature of divine love. The poet suggests that his imagination is already full of celestial beauty—Huras and angels. Yet, despite the overwhelming presence of divine imagery, he finds that the true flaw, the point of focus, is always in the beloved's sheer radiance (Tazalli). It’s a beautiful acknowledgement that the beloved surpasses even the most exquisite imagination.
