हर पेच में चीरे के तिरे लिपटे हैं आशिक़ आलम के दिलाँ बंद हैं तुझ बंद-ए-क़बा के
— Wali Dakhani
Meaning

In every fold of your turban, lovers are entwined, and the hearts of the entire world are held captive by the ties of your robe.

Explanation

This couplet paints a delightful picture of a beloved whose charm is so overwhelming that even their clothes hold people captive. The poet playfully suggests that lovers are hopelessly entangled in every twist and fold of the beloved's turban, while the simple ties of their robe have bound the hearts of the entire world. It is a warm, romantic exaggeration showing that true beauty doesn't even need to speak—its mere presence and elegance leave everyone blissfully trapped.
