जो है तेरे दहन में रंग ओ ख़ूबी कहाँ ये रंग ये ख़ूबी कली में
— Wali Dakhani
Meaning

The color and beauty that reside in your mouth (lips) cannot be found in any flower bud.

Explanation

In classical Urdu poetry, a beloved's lips are often compared to an unopened rosebud, but here the poet boldly places the beloved's beauty above nature itself. He tenderly insists that the delicate hue, freshness, and charm gracing the beloved’s lips can never be matched by any flower in the garden. It is a soft, intimate compliment that captures the lover's belief that true beauty begins and ends with the beloved.
