The sweet cage of your speech, a beautiful art, like a grand, wandering story, came to my heart. My beloved, when I finally returned home to you, I realized that my life's path was not meant for you.

In this beautiful couplet, Bulleh Shah compares the splendor of the night sky to the arrival of the beloved. He asks how the peacock's feathers can speak, noting that the night has brought countless colors. Yet, the moment the beloved entered his home, all the natural beauty paled in comparison. The true brilliance, the ultimate color, was written into existence by the sheer presence of the loved one. It’s a timeless ode to the transformative power of love.
