क्या लड़के दिल्ली के हैं अय्यार और नट-खट
दिल लें हैं यूँ कि हरगिज़ होती नहीं है आहट
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
Are these boys of Delhi, the playboys and the fools, whose hearts have been stolen in such a way that no sound can be heard?
Explanation
This playful couplet is a charming complaint about the irresistible allure of Delhi's young men. The poet describes them as 'ayyars' and 'nat-khat'—terms implying a mix of carefree mischief and skilled performance. The core idea is the depth of their charm: they capture the heart so completely that their presence feels constant, making them virtually invisible yet always felt. It speaks to a powerful, enduring, and elusive romance.
