बे-तकल्लुफ़ बोसा-ए-ज़ुल्फ़-ए-चलीपा लीजिए नक़्द-ए-दिल मौजूद है फिर क्यूँ न सौदा लीजिए
— Akbar Allahabadi
Meaning

Take a kiss from those curled tresses without hesitation; when the ready cash of the heart is at hand, why not make the deal?

Explanation

Here, love is playfully framed like a marketplace where the poet is eager to strike a sweet bargain. The beloved's intricate, cross-shaped curls are completely irresistible, and the poet is ready to pay for a single kiss with the currency of his own heart. Since the cash is ready in hand, he urges with warm abandon to drop all hesitation and seal this tender trade.
