ख़ूब-रू ख़ूब काम करते हैं
यक निगह में ग़ुलाम करते हैं
— Wali Dakhani
Meaning
Beautiful people do wondrous deeds; with just a single glance, they make someone their slave.
Explanation
This couplet is a delightful, playful ode to the effortless tyranny of beauty. The poet marvels at the wondrous power of the beloved, who needs no grand gestures or weapons to conquer the world—a single, fleeting glance is enough to captivate the soul. It captures that sweet, intoxicating surrender in love, where losing one's freedom feels less like captivity and more like pure bliss.
