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

It speaks to an all-consuming love where the slightest trace of the beloved is enough to shatter one's composure.
