    shab-e-visāl hai gul kar do in charāġhoñ ko

    ḳhushī kī bazm meñ kyā kaam jalne vāloñ kā

    Interpretation: Rekhta AI

    The speaker asks for the lamps to be put out because the night of union needs no artificial light—intimacy prefers darkness. “Burning ones” are the lovers who suffer in longing; their inner fire clashes with the mood of celebration. The couplet carries a sharp irony: joy makes the grief-stricken feel unnecessary and pushed aside.
