Naaz Deta Nahin Gar Rukhsat-e-gul-gasht-e-chaman — Wali Dakhani
Meaning
If your coquetry does not allow you to stroll through the garden, then O garden of modesty, come into the garden of my heart.
Explanation
The poet gently tells the beloved that if their delicate pride and bashfulness keep them from strolling through the town's public gardens, they need not worry. Addressing them affectionately as an embodiment of modesty, the lover offers a private sanctuary: come wander through the quiet garden of my heart instead. It is a tender invitation that transforms the lover's own devotion into a safe, blooming haven away from the prying eyes of the world.
