गेसू-ए-ताबदार को और भी ताबदार कर
होश ओ ख़िरद शिकार कर क़ल्ब ओ नज़र शिकार कर
— Allama Iqbal
Meaning
Adorn the already glorious tresses further; hunt the heart and the gaze using wit and wisdom.
Explanation
This powerful couplet speaks of an overwhelming, almost dangerous attraction. The poet is addressing the beloved, asking them to intensify their radiant beauty—their 'tabdar' hair. But the deeper meaning lies in the second line: the beloved’s very presence is a captivating force that has become a 'hunt.' They have captured the speaker's intellect, heart, and gaze, leaving the speaker utterly surrendered to the magic of the encounter.
