ḳhat-o-kākul-o-zulf-o-andāz-o-nāz
huiiñ dām-e-rah sad-giraftāriyāñ
Her handwriting-like fine lines, curls, long tresses, manner, and coquettish pride—everything was at play.
They became traps on the path, causing hundreds of captivities.
Meer Taqi Meer lists the beloved’s features and gestures as if each one is a separate snare. The “traps on the road” suggest that wherever the lover turns, beauty lies in ambush. The core feeling is helpless surrender: her charm doesn’t just attract, it captures again and again. Love here is shown as a repeated arrest by elegance and attitude.

qafas meñ rah ke na rote agar ye jānte ham
chaman meñ rah ke bhī ronā hai bāl-o-par ke liye
qafas mein rah ke na rote agar ye jaante hum
chaman mein rah ke bhi rona hai baal-o-par ke liye

qaid-e-awargi-e-jaan hi bahut hai mujh ko

shajar kī yaad rulātī hī thī magar ab to
jo āshiyāñ ke barābar thā vo qafas bhī gayā
shajar ki yaad rulati hi thi magar ab to
jo aashiyan ke barabar tha wo qafas bhi gaya

gaah ho jaatā huuñ maiñ apnī anā kā qaidī
maiñ na aa.uuñ to phir aa kar mujhe chhuḌvā.egā
gah ho jata hun main apni ana ka qaidi
main na aaun to phir aa kar mujhe chhuDwaega
khīñchte ho har jānib kis liye lakīreñ sī
maiñ na koī rāvan huuñ maiñ na koī siitā huuñ
khinchte ho har jaanib kis liye lakiren si
main na koi rawan hun main na koi sita hun
ham to baiThe hī rahe apnī asīrī ko liye
banñe vaalā kaam be-vahm-o-gumāñ bantā gayā
hum to baiThe hi rahe apni asiri ko liye
banne wala kaam be-wahm-o-guman banta gaya
