है मुझे बाद-अज़-सवाल-ए-बोसा ख़्वाहिश वस्ल की ये तमन्ना एक इस साइल के दिल में और है
— Bahadur Shah Zafar
Meaning

After asking for a kiss, I now desire full union; this beggar harbors yet another wish in his heart.

Explanation

Here, the lover playfully paints himself as an insatiable beggar at love's doorway. Asking for a kiss was merely the first plea, but the heart's tender greed knows no limits, and now nothing less than complete union will satisfy him. It beautifully captures the restless nature of longing—how the slightest taste of affection never quenches love's thirst, but only awakens a deeper craving.
