बंद-ए-क़बा को ख़ूबाँ जिस वक़्त वा करेंगे
ख़म्याज़ा-कश जो होंगे मिलने के क्या करेंगे
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
When the closed-off heart is opened up by love, what will the playful-hearted do when they meet?
Explanation
This couplet captures the exquisite tension of anticipation. The poet suggests that once the initial barriers are dropped—the 'closed doors' of restraint—the natural pull between two people becomes irresistible. The question 'What will we do upon meeting?' isn't a query of logistics, but a profound realization that the emotion itself will overwhelm any control or plan. It's the beauty of inevitable destiny.
