कुछ तो है क़द्र तमाशाई की
है जो ये शौक़ ख़ुद-आराई का
— Altaf Hussain Hali
Meaning
The spectator must surely hold some value, which is why this desire to adorn and beautify oneself exists.
Explanation
This couplet playfully captures the unspoken bond between beauty and the gaze that admires it. If the beloved takes such immense delight in adorning themselves, it quietly proves that the onlooker's eyes hold genuine worth and meaning. On a deeper, mystical level, it hints that the entire creation was adorned with divine beauty precisely because the observing soul is so deeply valued.
