Tevar Tire Ai Rashk-e-qamar Dekh Rahe Hain — Dagh Dehlvi
Meaning
O beloved who makes the moon envious, we are watching your furrowed brow, and ever since evening we have been seeing the signs of dawn.
Explanation
The poet teases their beloved—whose beauty makes even the moon envious—about the sudden, icy anger furrowing their brow. While lovers usually pray for a night of union to stretch forever, the beloved's displeased expression right from dusk signals that the mood is already ruined. Wryly and tenderly, the lover notes that the harsh, parting light of dawn seems to have arrived before the night could even begin.
