क्यूँके हासिल हो मुज को जमइय्यत
ज़ुल्फ़ तेरी क़रार खोती है
— Wali Dakhani
Meaning
How can I ever attain peace of mind when your tresses steal away all my rest and composure?
Explanation
In Urdu poetry, the beloved's flowing, untamed locks are a timeless symbol of beautiful chaos. The poet longs for 'jam'iyyat'—a calm, composed state of mind—yet lovingly laments that such peace is impossible whenever those captivating tresses come into view. Just as the wind scatters the beloved's hair, the lover's thoughts and heart are helplessly scattered in fascination.
