Speaking about your face is utterly impolite, for the virtue that resides in you is the burning passion of spring.

This couplet is a masterclass in paradoxical adoration. Mir Taqi Mir is addressing the beloved, whose mere speech is deemed 'impudent' or 'indecent' because of its overwhelming beauty. But why? Because the quality (sifat) of the beloved—the very essence of their being—is compared to the 'sozan-e-jalbi'—the burning, intoxicating sweetness of a fried dessert. It suggests that the beloved's presence is so intensely sweet and addictive that it causes a beautiful, yet painful, kind of agony.
