Misal-e-ganj-e-qarun Ahl-e-hajat Se Nahin Chhupta — Dagh Dehlvi
मिसाल-ए-गंज-ए-क़ारूँ अहल-ए-हाजत से नहीं छुपता
जो होता है सख़ी ख़ुद ढूँड कर साइल से मिलता है
— Dagh Dehlvi
Meaning
A truly generous person does not hide from the needy like the buried treasure of Qarun; instead, he seeks out the beggar himself and meets him.
Explanation
The poet beautifully contrasts the hollow hoarding of wealth with the grace of true generosity. While Qarun's legendary buried riches could never stay hidden from desperate eyes, a genuinely noble person does not wait for the destitute to beg at their door. True charity preserves the dignity of the needy by seeking them out and giving before they even have to ask.
