Main To Chup Hoon Vo Hont Chaate Hai — Mir Taqi Mir
मैं तो चुप हूँ वो होंट चाटे है
क्या कहूँ रीझने की जा है ये
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
I am silent, but those lips are licking; what can I say, this is a lure to entice.
Explanation

The poet is left questioning what words he should use, because it is she who has the power to charm him. It speaks to the overwhelming power of love and the helplessness of the lover in the face of such subtle flirtation.
