Na Gharaz Kisi Se Na Vasta Mujhe Kaam Apne Hi Kaam Se — Jigar Moradabadi
Meaning
I have no concern or connection with anyone else; I mind only my own affair, which consists solely of speaking of you, thinking of you, remembering you, and taking your name.
Explanation
At first glance, the poet seems like someone detached from worldly matters who simply prefers to mind his own business. But in a delightful twist in the second line, he reveals what that 'business' truly is: speaking of the beloved, worrying for them, and holding them in his memory. Worldly ambitions fade away, and this sweet obsession becomes the lover's entire universe and the sole purpose of his existence.
