रह जाए बा'द-ए-वस्ल भी चेटक लगी हुई कुछ रखिए कुछ निकाल के अरमान जाइए
— Dagh Dehlvi
Meaning

Let a longing to meet linger on even after our union; therefore, as you depart, fulfill only some desires and leave some unfulfilled.

Explanation

The poet touches upon a fascinating truth of desire: total satisfaction can quietly extinguish the flame of longing. The rare word 'chetak' evokes a restless craving or an intoxicating habit that keeps the heart hooked. By asking the beloved to fulfill only a few wishes and withhold the rest, the lover ensures that the sweet ache of anticipation survives long after the rendezvous has ended.
