तुझ ज़ुल्फ़ के हल्क़े में है दिल बे-सर ओ बे-पा टुक मेहर करो हाल उपर बे-सर-ओ-पा के
— Wali Dakhani
Meaning

My heart is completely helpless within the ringlets of your tresses. Please show a little mercy and kindness toward the plight of this destitute one.

Explanation

The poet paints a classic picture of the beloved's swirling locks as a captivating snare, within which the heart is utterly trapped and rendered helpless. The phrase 'be-sar-o-pa' beautifully captures that state of total surrender where one loses all direction, sense, and bearing. Trapped in this sweet captivity, the lover makes a tender, heartfelt plea for just a tiny touch of grace and kindness.
