Tiri Zulfan Ki Tulani Kuun Dekhe — Wali Dakhani
तिरी ज़ुल्फ़ाँ की तूलानी कूँ देखे
मुझे लैल-ए-ज़मिस्ताँ याद आवे
— Wali Dakhani
Meaning
Seeing the extreme length of your dark tresses, I am reminded of a long winter night.
Explanation
Here, the poet paints a striking picture of the beloved’s dark, cascading hair, comparing its immense length to the endless nights of winter. In ghazal tradition, a winter night is not merely long and deep, but also laden with the chill of solitude and longing. Beholding this sea of black tresses, the lover feels both enchanted by their beauty and overwhelmed by the quiet ache of desire.
