Phir Bhi Karte Hain Meer Sahab Ishq — Mir Taqi Mir

फिर भी करते हैं 'मीर' साहब इश्क़ हैं जवाँ इख़्तियार रखते हैं
— Mir Taqi Mir

Meaning

Even so, O Meer, you continue pursuing love because you still possess the vigor and spirit of youth.

Explanation

This couplet speaks to the enduring, almost stubborn nature of love. Mir Taqi Mir suggests that even when all logic dictates restraint, the heart continues to fall, because the spirit—the 'jawan ikhtiyar'—still possesses the youthful audacity and will to pursue that feeling. It's a celebration of passion that refuses to be tamed by time or circumstance.
