The rose, which once claimed beauty in the garden, had its face greatly reddened by the beloved's beauty.

This couplet beautifully captures the overwhelming power of the beloved's beauty (Jamal-e-Yaar). The flower (gul) in the garden boasts of its own splendor, making a grand claim of beauty. However, Mir Taqi Mir suggests that the mere presence and unmatched beauty of the beloved are so potent, they diminish even the finest natural beauty. The beloved's charm is so captivating that it literally makes the flower blush! It speaks to the intoxicating, irresistible force of divine love.
