Saaz Ye Kina-saz Kya Janen — Dagh Dehlvi
साज़ ये कीना-साज़ क्या जानें
नाज़ वाले नियाज़ क्या जानें
— Dagh Dehlvi
Meaning
Those who harbor malice cannot comprehend musical harmony, just as those full of pride and coquetry cannot understand humility and supplication.
Explanation
This couplet gently reveals the vast distance between emotional purity and sheer vanity. The poet muses that those driven by spite can never tune into the delicate, harmonious melodies of genuine love. In the same way, the proud and self-absorbed beloved will never truly understand the tender humility and quiet devotion of a lover's heart.
