मुझ से लगे हैं इश्क़ की अज़्मत को चार चाँद ख़ुद हुस्न को गवाह किए जा रहा हूँ मैं
— Jigar Moradabadi
Meaning

It is because of me that the grandeur of love has been enhanced with immense glory, and I am making Beauty itself a witness to this.

Explanation

In classical poetry, the lover is usually humble and helpless before beauty, but here the poet speaks with magnificent pride. He claims that his selfless devotion has actually elevated the dignity of love itself, adding tenfold glory to its name. His passion is so genuine and profound that he boldly calls upon Beauty itself to stand witness to the heights his love has achieved.
