ऐ हुस्न अपनी हौसला-अफ़ज़ाइयाँ तो देख माना कि चश्म-ए-शौक़ बहुत बे-हिजाब है
— Jigar Moradabadi
Meaning

O beauty, just look at your own encouragement; granted that the eye of desire is completely bold and unveiled.

Explanation

In this delightfully playful verse, the lover confesses that their gaze has become brazen and unveiled, staring openly at the beloved without any hesitation. Yet, with a charming tease, they gently turn the blame back on beauty itself, suggesting that such breathtaking radiance naturally invites and emboldens longing eyes. It captures that tender moment in romance where love's daring boldness is shown to be a helpless reaction to an irresistible charm.
