मिले अगर लब-ए-शीरीं का तेरे इक बोसा तो लुत्फ़ हो मुझे अलबत्ता यार ईद के दिन
— Akbar Allahabadi
Meaning

If I could receive a single kiss from your sweet lips, then truly, my friend, Eid would be a great joy for me.

Explanation

Eid is synonymous with festive sweets and joyful gifts, but for a true lover, the world's celebrations feel incomplete without the beloved. The poet playfully suggests that a single kiss from those 'sweet lips' (lab-e-shireen) would be the ultimate Eidi, transforming the religious holiday into pure personal bliss. It is a charming, lighthearted expression of how romance elevates a festival into an unforgettable celebration of love.
