Koi BaDhe Na BaDhe Ham To Jaan Dete Hain — Jigar Moradabadi
कोई बढ़े न बढ़े हम तो जान देते हैं
फिर ऐसी चश्म-ए-तवज्जोह हुई हुई न हुई
— Jigar Moradabadi
Meaning
Whether anyone else steps forward or not, we offer our life, for who knows if such an attentive glance of favor will ever be cast upon us again.
Explanation
In this couplet, the poet captures the intoxicating thrill of catching the beloved's fleeting gaze. When that rare glance of favor finally arrives, he doesn't wait to see if anyone else steps forward—he willingly surrenders his entire being on the spot. It is a tender reflection on the urgency of love, knowing such an exquisite moment of grace may never come again.
