Choti Ki Gundhaawat Kahin Dikhlaati Ho Nairang — Nazeer Akbarabadi
Meaning
Somewhere the weaving of your braided plait reveals its wondrous colour, and somewhere your scattered tresses put on their own spectacle.
Explanation
This couplet admires the many moods of a beloved's hair. Sometimes you braid your hair neatly, and that careful weaving shows a kind of wonder, a lovely magic in how it's arranged. At other times you leave your tresses loose and scattered, and even that tousled, carefree look becomes its own delightful spectacle. The poet is saying that whether your hair is tidy or wild, each way holds its own charm and draws the eye. There is beauty in order and beauty in disorder. Both states are enchanting, and the beloved seems to play with these looks, keeping the admirer captivated no matter which style appears.
