तू ख़ुदा तो नहीं ऐ नासेह-ए-नादाँ मेरा
क्या ख़ता की जो कहा मैं ने न माना तेरा
— Dagh Dehlvi
Meaning
O foolish adviser, you are not my God; what mistake did I make if I did not follow your advice?
Explanation
In this couplet, the lover offers a wonderfully candid and cheeky rebuke to the moralizer who constantly advises him to abandon the path of love. By reminding this preacher that he isn't the Divine, the speaker reclaims his right to make his own choices and follow his heart. It captures the timeless, defiant spirit of a lover choosing passion over unsolicited worldly wisdom.
