उर्यानी-ए-तन है ये ब-अज़-ख़िलअत-ए-शाही
हम को ये तिरे इश्क़ में सामान है मौजूद
— Bahadur Shah Zafar
Meaning
This nakedness of the body is better than any royal robe of honor, and in your love, this is the wealth made available to us.
Explanation
The poet here takes immense pride in the utter destitution that comes with love. He views the bareness of his body—often seen as poverty—as far grander than any opulent royal robe, calling it the ultimate treasure gifted by his beloved. In the mystical world of Urdu poetry, shedding worldly appearances is the highest mark of spiritual wealth and unpretentious devotion.
