फ़ौज-ए-उश्शाक़ देख हर जानिब नाज़नीं साहिब-ए-दिमाग़ हुआ
— Wali Dakhani
Meaning

Seeing an army of lovers on every side, the delicate beloved became proud and arrogant.

Explanation

Imagine a beloved looking around and finding a vast sea of devoted admirers stretching in every direction. Naturally, so much overwhelming adoration gets to their head, turning that gentle beauty aloof and proud. The poet playfully observes human nature here—how the immense devotion of lovers often ends up fueling the very arrogance that keeps them at a distance.
