Mauj-e-betabi-e-dil Ashk Men Hui Jalva-numa — Wali Dakhani
Meaning
When the beloved's tresses came to reside in my troubled soul, the wave of my heart's restlessness revealed itself through tears.
Explanation
Here, the poet weaves a delicate connection between the beloved's tangled tresses and his own scattered state of mind. In poetic tradition, the beloved's curls represent sweet madness and confusion; the moment their memory settles into the lover's troubled soul, an inner tempest awakens. That quiet turbulence of longing can no longer stay hidden inside, rising up like a wave and revealing itself to the world through his tears.
