De Hai Jumbish Jo Va Ki Khak Ko Baw — Mir Taqi Mir
दे है जुम्बिश जो वाँ की ख़ाक को बाव
जिगर दाग़ दाग़ निकले है
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
The smoke rising from the dust of the world is so frantic/wild. My heart, marked with scars, has spilled out.
Explanation
This couplet paints a vivid picture of agonizing passion. Mir Taqi Mir suggests that merely the stirring of the world's dust (or the memory of the beloved) is enough to destabilize a person. The effect is so profound that the heart itself begins to bleed, dripping tears and pain. It speaks to an all-consuming love where the slightest trace of the beloved is enough to shatter one's composure.
