छेड़ा था जिसे पहले-पहल तेरी नज़र ने अब तक है वो इक नग़्मा-ए-बे-साज़-ओ-सदा याद
— Jigar Moradabadi
Meaning

I still remember today that melody without any instrument or sound, which was first awakened by your glance.

Explanation

This couplet beautifully captures the unspoken, everlasting stirrings of first love. The poet imagines the beloved's first glance as a musician delicately plucking the strings of the heart, giving birth to a silent melody. Even without instruments or words, that sweet resonance has lingered ever since, showing how a single moment of connection can echo endlessly within us.
