रहज़नों में नाज़-ओ-ग़म्ज़ा की ये जिंस-ए-दीन-ओ-दिल जूँ मता-ए-बुर्दा आख़िर हम-दिगर बट जाएगी
— Bahadur Shah Zafar
Meaning

Among the bandits of coquetry and amorous glances, this wealth of faith and heart will ultimately be divided amongst each other like looted goods.

Explanation

In this striking verse, the poet imagines the beloved's coquetry and flirtatious glances as a ruthless band of highwaymen. The lover's heart and faith are treated like precious cargo ambushed along the path of love. In the end, just as bandits casually divide their plundered loot among themselves, the beloved's overwhelming charms will carve up and claim every piece of his inner world.
