सिर्फ़ सूरत का बंद नईं 'नाजी' आशिक़-ए-साहब-ए-मआनी है
— Shakir Naji
Meaning

Naji is not merely captive to outward appearance; he is a lover of someone who possesses inner meaning and depth.

Explanation

Naji gently reminds us that his love is not trapped by mere outward appearance or physical charm. For him, the visible face ('surat') is just a temporary shell; what truly captivates him is someone rich in inner depth, substance, and spiritual essence ('ma'ani'). It is an invitation to look past superficial beauty and fall in love with the soul's true meaning.
