जनाब-ए-'दाग़' के मशरब को हम से तो पूछो छुपे हुए हैं ये हज़रत किसी को क्या मालूम
— Dagh Dehlvi
Meaning

Ask us about the creed and true nature of master Dagh; this gentleman remains hidden from view, so how could anyone else know him?

Explanation

In this couplet, Daagh Dehlvi displays his signature playful wit and charm. The word 'mashrab' hints at one's inner disposition, creed, or true way of life, and the speaker conspiratorially claims to know Daagh's real character when the rest of the world is completely fooled by his outward restraint. It is a lighthearted wink at human nature, showing how an appearance of piety and dignity often conceals a mischievous heart deeply steeped in passion.
