तू जो ऐ ज़ुल्फ़ परेशान रहा करती है किस के उजड़े हुए दिल में है ठिकाना तेरा
— Dagh Dehlvi
Meaning

O tress, you who always remain scattered and restless, in whose ruined heart is your dwelling place?

Explanation

The poet plays brilliantly with the Urdu word 'pareshan', which carries a dual meaning: physically disheveled hair and an emotionally troubled mind. Addressing the beloved's restless tresses, he wonders aloud whose broken, desolate heart they have made their dwelling place. It gently suggests that true beauty often mirrors the same sweet, melancholic ache felt by the lover who longs for it.
