जो तेरे आरिज़ ओ गेसू के दरमियाँ गुज़रे कभी कभी वही लम्हे बला-ए-जाँ गुज़रे
— Jigar Moradabadi
Meaning

The moments that were spent in the closeness of your cheeks and hair sometimes become a deadly torment to life.

Explanation

Here, the poet looks back on those blissful moments of intimacy spent lost between the radiant cheek and dark, fragrant tresses of the beloved. In the days of union, those hours felt like heaven, but in the agony of separation, remembering such supreme tenderness becomes an unbearable torment. It captures that poignant truth of love: the very memories that once gave us life can return to haunt and wound our souls the deepest.
