Tiri Khushi Se Agar Gham Men Bhi Khushi Na Hui — Jigar Moradabadi

तिरी ख़ुशी से अगर ग़म में भी ख़ुशी न हुई वो ज़िंदगी तो मोहब्बत की ज़िंदगी न हुई
— Jigar Moradabadi

Meaning

If one cannot find happiness even in sorrow for the sake of your pleasure, then that life is truly not a life of love.

Explanation

In this couplet, the poet explores the selfless summit of devotion, where the lover's entire world revolves around the beloved's contentment. If grief born from the beloved's happiness cannot bring you a quiet joy, then you have not truly experienced the essence of love. It reflects that bittersweet beauty of romance where even suffering becomes sacred if it is touched by the beloved's wish.
