Gulu Ke Rang Ko Kya Dekhte Ho Ai Khoobaan — Nazeer Akbarabadi
Meaning
O beautiful ones, why do you gaze at the flower's color? These hues are just like those of your own garment.
Explanation
The poet speaks to the beautiful ones and asks, why do you keep gazing at the colors of the rose? Those lovely shades, he says, are nothing more than reflections of your own garment. In other words, the rose borrows its beauty from you. Your dress, your presence, is so radiant that even the flower seems to wear your colors. It's a graceful compliment, turning the natural world into a mirror of the beloved's charm. The poet suggests that true beauty flows outward from the beloved, and everything around simply echoes it.
