Slowly, this child of bright appearance, becomes the temptation of the day's work.

Mir Taqi Mir uses exquisite imagery here. The couplet speaks about something—perhaps a beautiful person or a fleeting pleasure—that initially appears innocent and lovely ('tifl-e-khush-zaahir'). However, as time passes ('rafta rafta'), this beauty or temptation gradually becomes an overwhelming distraction, a constant 'fitna' in the daily rhythm of life. It suggests that even the purest things can become addictive.
