Le Hi To Legi Dil Nigah Tiri — Dagh Dehlvi
ले ही तो लेगी दिल निगाह तिरी
हर तरह होशियार हम भी हैं
— Dagh Dehlvi
Meaning
Your glance will ultimately end up taking my heart away, yet we too are cautious and alert in every way.
Explanation
There is a delightful playfulness in this couplet, unfolding like an affectionate game of wits between lovers. The poet knowingly concedes defeat before the duel even begins, acknowledging that the beloved's gaze is far too enchanting to resist. Yet, with a charming touch of pride, he insists he is entirely on guard—turning the sweet inevitability of falling in love into a teasing, tender challenge.
