The intense love of such lovers would serve as a raft to them to reach the Beloved. As a matter of fact the river water would get frozen like a mill-stone for those who yearn for the Beloved.
And recollect when We divided the sea for you, then We saved you and drowned Firaon's people while you watched by. (50, Al-Baqarah).
خشک سازد ہیبت او نیل را
می برد از مصر اسرائیل را
(Roomi)
Allah's awe dried up the Red sea when Hazrat Moosa was leading lsraelies from Egypt to Syria.

The deep love of lovers is raft for them,
Those, who yearn for Sahar, river water is like a grinstone.
