Mera Kamal-e-sher Bas Itna Hai Ai Jigar — Jigar Moradabadi
Meaning
O Jigar, the sole triumph of my poetry is simply that my beloved overwhelmed me, and I overwhelmed the entire world.
Explanation
Jigar Moradabadi gracefully credits his entire poetic genius not to his own craft, but purely to the overwhelming presence of his beloved. He suggests that when love completely possessed his soul and eclipsed his ego, that deep surrender naturally transformed into verses powerful enough to captivate the entire world. It is a stunning paradox: his absolute defeat in love becomes his greatest artistic triumph.
