Khushi Men Ham Ne Ye Shokhi Kabhi Nahin Dekhi — Dagh Dehlvi
ख़ुशी में हम ने ये शोख़ी कभी नहीं देखी
दम-ए-इताब जो रंगत तिरी निकलती है
— Dagh Dehlvi
Meaning
We have never seen such playful charm in times of joy as the glowing complexion that appears on your face in moments of anger.
Explanation
The poet captures a delightfully paradoxical facet of love—the breathtaking beauty of the beloved in anger. He muses that even joy never brings out such playful, vivid radiance on their face as the sudden flush of wrath does. For a lover completely entranced, even the beloved's fury transforms into an irresistible, glowing charm.
