उसे कहना बजा है इश्क़ के गुलज़ार का बुलबुल जो गुल-रूयाँ में पाया ए'तिबार आहिस्ता-आहिस्ता
— Wali Dakhani
Meaning

It is completely justified to call him the nightingale of love's garden, who gradually won the trust of rose-faced beloveds.

Explanation

In classical Urdu poetry, the nightingale represents the devoted lover and the rose embodies the beloved. This couplet suggests that true mastery in love is not about grand, hasty gestures, but about having the patient devotion to gently win the trust of delicate hearts over time. Like a flower that unfurls petal by petal, profound love flourishes only through quiet persistence and earned belief.
