Vo Jo RuThen Yuun Manana Chahiye — Jigar Moradabadi
वो जो रूठें यूँ मनाना चाहिए
ज़िंदगी से रूठ जाना चाहिए
— Jigar Moradabadi
Meaning
If the beloved gets displeased, the way to appease them is that one should turn away from life itself.
Explanation
Love thrives on sweet extremes, and this couplet captures that playful yet passionate devotion. The poet suggests that when the beloved sulks, ordinary apologies won't do—one must dramatically turn away from life itself to win them back. It is a tender and desperate way of saying that existence has no charm or meaning unless the beloved is smiling again.
