Today, the beloved's curled tresses are being adorned, and once again, my life is falling captive to misfortune.

Here, the lover watches his beloved tenderly styling and braiding her curled tresses, and immediately senses the sweet danger ahead. In classical Urdu poetry, the beloved's dark, winding hair is often pictured as an enchanting net designed to ensnare helpless hearts. With playful resignation, the poet admits that every time she grooms her hair, his soul is irresistibly doomed to fall into romance's trap once more.
