खिले हर ग़ुंचा-ए-दिल ज्यूँ गुल-ए-शादाब शादी सूँ अगर टुक घर सूँ बाहर वो बहार-दिल-कुशा निकले
— Wali Dakhani
Meaning

If that heart-delighting spring (the beloved) steps out of the house even for a moment, every bud of the heart would bloom with joy like a fresh flower.

Explanation

Here, the poet treats the beloved not just as someone beautiful, but as spring itself incarnate. The lovers' hearts are like closed, waiting buds; the moment the beloved steps out of the house even for a fleeting second, that gentle presence causes every heart to blossom into a radiant, joyful rose. It is a sweet reflection on how the mere sight of someone we cherish can instantly revive our spirits.
