Chahiye Paigham-bar Donon Taraf — Dagh Dehlvi
चाहिए पैग़ाम-बर दोनों तरफ़
लुत्फ़ क्या जब दू-ब-दू होने लगी
— Dagh Dehlvi
Meaning
There ought to be a messenger on both sides to carry messages; what pleasure remains once conversations begin to happen face-to-face?
Explanation
In the world of classical ghazal, romance is fueled by yearning, mystery, and the sweet torture of distance. The poet playfully insists that love needs a messenger to keep the flame alive, because letters carry unsaid desires and delicate suspense. Once lovers meet face-to-face and speak directly, that enchanting tension and dramatic charm simply vanish.
