किसी की शामत आएगी किसी की जान जाएगी किसी की ताक में वो बाम पर बन-ठन के बैठे हैं
— Dagh Dehlvi
Meaning

Someone is bound to meet their doom and lose their life, as the beloved is sitting all dressed up on the rooftop lying in wait for someone.

Explanation

Here, the poet depicts the beloved's lethal charm with delightful wit and romantic drama. Having dressed to perfection, the beloved sits high on the terrace roof, seemingly lying in wait to ensnare an unsuspecting admirer below. The lover playfully warns that doom is imminent for someone tonight—because no one can witness such captivating, dressed-up beauty and walk away with their heart intact.
