आए थे दिल की प्यास बुझाने के वास्ते
इक आग सी वो और लगा कर चले गए
— Jigar Moradabadi
Meaning
They came to quench the thirst of the heart, but instead, they ignited another fire and walked away.
Explanation
This couplet captures the bittersweet irony of love, where the remedy only deepens the wound. The lover hoped that the beloved's arrival would soothe the heart's restless longing—quench its thirst—yet that brief encounter only ignited a fiercer flame of passion. Instead of gifting closure or peace, they left behind a blaze that burns far hotter than before.
