Lala-o-gul Se Tujh Ko Kya Nisbat — Jigar Moradabadi
लाला-ओ-गुल से तुझ को क्या निस्बत
ना-मुकम्मल से इस्तिआ'रे हैं
— Jigar Moradabadi
Meaning
What comparison can the tulip and rose have with you? They are merely incomplete metaphors to describe your beauty.
Explanation
Poets have long compared a beloved's face to blooming roses and tulips, but here the lover gently casts that entire poetic convention aside. To him, nature's most dazzling flowers are merely unfinished sketches that fail to capture the beloved's true radiance. It is a tender, passionate compliment—a reminder that some beauty is simply too boundless for traditional metaphors to hold.
