तोशक बाला पोश रज़ाई है भूले मजनूँ बरसों तक जब दिखलावे ज़ुल्फ़ सजन की बन में आवते अब्रों को
— Shakir Naji
Meaning

Majnun forgot about comforts like a mattress, bedsheet, and quilt for years, whenever the beloved's tresses showed themselves to the clouds gathering in the wilderness.

Explanation

In this evocative verse, the poet paints the sheer abandon of Majnun, the archetypal lover lost in the desert. Having cast away all domestic comforts like soft mattresses and warm quilts, Majnun finds all the shelter he needs in the wild. The dark, flowing tresses of the beloved mirror the deep monsoon clouds gathering over the wilderness, offering a comforting canopy that makes every worldly luxury pale in comparison.
