तुम सरापा हो सूरत-ए-तस्वीर तुम से फिर बात क्या करे कोई
— Dagh Dehlvi
Meaning

You are completely like a portrait from head to toe, so how could anyone talk to you?

Explanation

The poet playfully yet wistfully compares the beloved to a flawless portrait, exquisite from head to toe. While a painting captures supreme beauty, it remains inherently silent, impassive, and emotionally distant. It hints both at the lover being rendered completely speechless in their awe, and a gentle sigh over the beloved's cold, unresponsive silence.
