Notes:

tamaamii : 'Perfection; completion; conclusion, end, termination; totality, the whole'. (Platts p.336)

 

((itaab : 'Reproving; reproof, reproach, censure, reprimand, rebuke; anger, displeasure'. (Platts p.758)

S. R. Faruqi:

The opening-verse is by way of introduction. There's no doubt a subtlety in the word ((itaab , because one of its meanings is 'to show coquetry'.

Note: If you look at this ghazal in the kulliyat and don't find a verse you think should be in it, here's why: {256,1}.

This ghazal has a remarkably long rhyme (two syllables) and refrain (three syllables), within a very short meter (ten syllables). Thus in the second line of each verse, the poet has only five syllables to work with. And since this is an opening-verse, both lines are so constrained. So if Mir can't pull off any special effects within such tight limits, it's not surprising.

Note for grammar fans: In the second line, the noun sequence tamaamii ((itaab seems to be a case of an 'omitted izafat'.
