ब-रंग उस के नहीं महबूब दिल रोने को आशिक़ के सआदत ख़ाँ है लड़का वज़्अ कर लेता है बरसाती
— Shakir Naji
Meaning

Unlike him, the beloved's heart does not melt at the lover's weeping; young Saadat Khan is merely a boy, yet he puts on a cloak to shield himself from the rain.

Explanation

In this couplet, the poet playfully yet wistfully compares the lover's endless weeping to a heavy downpour of rain. Instead of being moved or letting their heart melt, the beloved stays completely untouched and indifferent—almost as if casually donning a raincoat to stay dry. It uses a charming, everyday image to capture the emotional wall and cold detachment of the beloved.
