शान-ए-दिमाग़ इश्क़ के जल्वे से ये बढ़ी
रखता है होश भी क़दम अपने सँभाल के
— Akbar Allahabadi
Meaning
Love's splendor has elevated the dignity of the mind so much that even reason and consciousness now tread with great caution.
Explanation
We usually imagine that love sweeps away all sense, but here the poet turns that idea on its head. The divine radiance of love has so elevated the stature and clarity of the mind that even reason now treads with quiet reverence and caution. Far from causing reckless madness, love has crowned consciousness with a majesty that intellect itself respects.
