जिस ने दिल मेरा दिया दाम-ए-मोहब्बत में फँसा
वो नहीं मालूम मुज को नासेहा क्या चीज़ है
— Bahadur Shah Zafar
Meaning
O advisor, I do not know what kind of thing it is that has trapped my heart in the snare of love.
Explanation
The lover turns to the practical adviser with a disarming blend of innocence and bewilderment. Love is imagined here as a snare or net, yet the captor is so enchanting and mysterious that the poet cannot even begin to define what manner of being they are. It is a gentle, poetic rebuttal to all unsolicited counsel—suggesting that rational advice is completely useless against an enchantment so absolute.
