हमें न कहो उसकी चटक कैसी होती है,कलियों को यूँ बहुत परखा है, ख़बर है।
— Amrut Ghayal
Meaning
Do not tell us how charming it is, we have examined many buds and know it well.
Explanation
This couplet is a profound warning wrapped in a seemingly casual observation. The poet is telling us not to comment on the beloved's charm or style ('chatak'), because the speaker is already aware of her true nature. The 'buds' (kaliyan) symbolize new, innocent love or potential. By saying she has tested them repeatedly, Amrut Ghayal suggests that the beloved's charm is not innocent; it is highly skilled and manipulative, indicating a complex, tested history of emotional games.
