Naseh Se Koi Kah De Kiije Kalam Aisa — Dagh Dehlvi
Meaning
Let someone tell the moral advisor to speak in such a manner that people may at least realize he too is a human being.
Explanation
In this couplet, the poet takes a delightfully sharp yet playful jab at the self-righteous moralizer who is constantly lecturing others. The speaker suggests that the preacher should drop his detached, holier-than-thou demeanor and speak with some warmth, just so people can tell he is actually human. Deep down, it is a reminder that advice without empathy and an understanding of human frailties is completely lifeless.
