shukr parde hi mein us but ko haya ne rakkha warna iman gaya hi tha khuda ne rakkha the poet humorously exaggerates the beloved's beauty by calling them an 'idol' (but), a term often used in poetry for a stunningly beautiful person who might lead a believer astray. he implies that if the beloved had not been modest and veiled, the sight of such beauty would have compelled him to worship the beloved instead of god. thus, the veil preserved his religious faith.
