जब तुझ अरक़ के वस्फ़ में जारी क़लम हुआ आलम में उस का नाँव जवाहर-रक़म हुआ
— Wali Dakhani
Meaning

When the pen began to flow in praise of your sweat, it became known throughout the world by the name 'writer of gems'.

Explanation

Here, the poet creates a luminous image where the tiny beads of sweat on the beloved's face are imagined as precious pearls. The moment his pen begins to praise such delicate beauty, the words themselves transform into gems, earning the pen the worldly title of 'Jawahir-Raqam' or 'the writer of jewels'. It is a sweet, playful compliment that celebrates both the beloved's radiant grace and the poet's own dazzling craft.
