शायद कि दाम-ए-इश्क़ में ताज़ा हुआ है बंद वादे पे गुल-रुख़ाँ के जिसे ए'तिमाद है
— Wali Dakhani
Meaning

Whoever still believes the promises of the rose-faced beauties must surely be someone newly trapped in the snare of love.

Explanation

The poet gently smiles at the naive innocence of a newcomer to romance. In the tradition of Urdu poetry, beautiful lovers are notoriously fickle, so anyone who still takes their sweet promises seriously must have stepped into love's trap only recently. It is a witty, affectionate reflection on how experience and heartbreak inevitably strip every lover of their early illusions.
