This black lock of hair resting on your chin looks like a thirsty female serpent at a well.

In this couplet, Wali Deccani conjures an exquisitely vivid picture of the beloved's beauty. In classical Urdu poetry, a dimpled chin is often likened to a well (chah-e-zanakhaan), and here the poet imagines the dark curl falling across it as a thirsty serpent coiled at the water's edge. It captures both the dangerous allure and the mesmerizing charm of the beloved with effortless grace.
