Remember this well that you are not something to be forgotten. O Dagh, how could we ever remove you from our heart?
In this charming and playful couplet, Daagh imagines his beloved speaking directly to him, confessing that he is simply impossible to forget. There is also a clever wordplay on his pen name 'Daagh', which literally means a scar or stain—suggesting that just as a deep mark on the heart never truly fades, neither can the memory of the poet. It carries that sweet vanity, wit, and affectionate warmth that makes Daagh’s poetry so instantly delightful.
