Kaha Jo Hanste Hamein Dar Se Kyon Uthate Ho — Nazeer Akbarabadi
Meaning
I asked why, with a laugh, you drive me away from your door; you replied that it is because I create such a loud uproar here.
Explanation
This couplet is a playful little exchange between the lover and his beloved. Smiling, the lover asks, why do you push me away from your door? With a teasing answer comes the reply: it's because you make such a noise and fuss here. There's a sweet, lighthearted charm in these lines. The lover lingers hopefully at the beloved's threshold, and the beloved, half-amused, half-annoyed, uses his loud pleading as the reason to send him off. Beneath the humour lies the familiar tenderness of love, where even rejection is wrapped in a gentle, almost flirtatious conversation.
