Tira Jo Paaon Ka Talva Ho Narm Makhmal Sa — Nazeer Akbarabadi
Meaning
The sole of your foot is soft like velvet, so its purity and delicacy must surely be like that of the nastaran, the wild white rose.
Explanation
The poet is praising his beloved's feet with gentle wonder. He says the sole of your foot is as soft as velvet, tender to the touch. And its freshness, its delicate purity, is like that of the nastaran flower, a kind of wild white rose. So he brings together two images, the softness of fine velvet and the clean, fresh beauty of a blooming flower, to capture how lovely and delicate the beloved is. It is a tender, admiring picture painted with simple, sensory comparisons.
