जिन ने देखे तिरे लब-ए-शीरीं नज़र उस की नहीं शकर की तरफ़
— Shakir Naji
Meaning

Whoever has seen your sweet lips never turns their gaze toward sugar again.

Explanation

This couplet is a playful yet deeply affectionate tribute to the beloved's unmatched charm. Here, sugar represents the ordinary sweetness of the worldly realm, but the poet insists that once someone catches a glimpse of the beloved’s nectar-like lips, all other sweet pleasures lose their appeal entirely. It beautifully captures how experiencing a transcendent beauty spoils your heart for anything ordinary forever.
