गुल देख कर चमन में तुझ को खिला ही जा है या'नी हज़ार जी से क़ुर्बान हो रहा है
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning

Seeing the rose in the garden, I am destined to bloom for you, meaning I am sacrificing a thousand lives for you.

Explanation

This beautiful couplet speaks to the ultimate depth of devotion. The poet suggests that when true beauty—be it the beloved's face or the bloom of love—is encountered, the entire world (the 'Chaman' or garden) feels compelled to come alive. It is a declaration that the beauty is so profound that it makes the entire existence willing to sacrifice itself, sacrificing thousands of lives, just to witness or exist near that beauty. It is a testament to selfless love.
