लगा लिया उन्हें सीने से जोश-ए-उल्फ़त में ग़रज़ कि आ ही गया मुझ को प्यार ईद के दिन
— Akbar Allahabadi
Meaning

In a surge of deep love, I embraced them to my chest; in short, love finally overcame me on the day of Eid.

Explanation

Eid is traditionally celebrated with warm embraces, but the poet clever and tenderly turns this festive custom into an excuse to finally hold the beloved close. In that sudden surge of overwhelming affection, all hesitation melts away, and true love simply takes over. It beautifully captures how a sacred tradition can become a sweet sanctuary for unspoken longing to express itself.
