Mujh Ko Turshi Ka Hai Parhez Sanam — Wali Dakhani
Meaning
O beloved, I have been prescribed to avoid sour things, so please do not show me the knitted frown on your brow.
Explanation
Here, the poet makes a delightfully playful plea to his beloved, turning a medical excuse into sweet romantic teasing. He claims he has been strictly forbidden from having anything sour ('turshi'), so she must not sour her lovely face with a furrowed brow. It is a witty, charming way of coaxing a smile out of her, hinting that her cold annoyance is just too bitter for his delicate heart to digest.
