जा न इज़हार-ए-मोहब्बत पे हवसनाकों की वक़्त के वक़्त ये सब मुँह को छुपा बैठेंगे
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning

Regarding the expression of love, the flirtatious people will hide their faces at every moment.

Explanation

Mir Taqi Mir captures a profound truth about human nature here. The couplet speaks about the hypocrisy surrounding the declaration of love. He suggests that when it comes to openly expressing affection, those driven by mere desire or lust will never commit fully. They will hide their true feelings, shifting their demeanor depending on the moment, making genuine connection almost impossible!
