कहाँ नक़्श-ए-अव्वल कहाँ नक़्श-ए-सानी ख़ुदा की ख़ुदाई में तुझ सा न देखा
— Dagh Dehlvi
Meaning

Neither the first original design nor any second copy compares; in all of God's creation, I have seen no one like you.

Explanation

The poet marvels at a beauty so singularly unique that it defies duplication—there is neither a prior prototype to compare them to, nor a second copy that could ever match them. Through the imagery of the first sketch and its reproduction, love is elevated beyond ordinary creation into the realm of a divine miracle. It is a heartfelt confession that throughout the entirety of God's vast universe, the beloved remains absolutely peerless and one of a kind.
