ब-क़द्र-ए-हौसला-ए-इश्क़ जल्वा-रेज़ी है
वगर्ना ख़ाना-ए-आईना की फ़ज़ा मा'लूम
Mirza Ghalib
Meaning

The manifestation of beauty is only according to the courage of love; otherwise, the state of a house of mirrors (that it only displays, holds nothing) is well known.

Explanation

Imagine, my friend, how much beauty we truly see. Ghalib says it depends entirely on us. The 'jalwa-rezi' – that radiant display of beauty – we perceive... ...is measured by our 'hausla-e-ishq' – the courage and capacity of our deep, passionate 'ishq' or love. If our love is timid, we catch only a faint glimpse of what's there. But if our heart's love is vast and brave, that beauty reveals itself in its full, overwhelming grandeur. You see, the universe, my friend, is like an infinite 'khana-e-aaina' – a house of mirrors. It's always reflecting endless beauty and truth, holding nothing back from us. The limitation isn't in what's offered, but in what our own heart is truly ready to receive. So, the world isn't holding back its magic; it simply awaits the vastness of your heart to truly see it.
