तारे से मेरी पलकों पे क़तरे सरिश्क के
देते रहे हैं 'मीर' दिखाई तमाम शब
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
From the stars, droplets fell onto my eyelids, and 'Mir' showed [me] the sight throughout the entire night.
Explanation
This beautiful couplet captures the haunting persistence of memory. The poet, Mir Taqi Mir, compares the vision of the beloved to dewdrops or scattered stars on the eyelids. It suggests that the memory is so vivid and constant that it feels physically imprinted upon the eyes. The 'all night' duration emphasizes that this longing is not fleeting; it is a continuous, overwhelming presence that dominates the entire night, leaving the lover sleepless and deeply consumed.
