Love has given the oil of the ailment, and the blood of the nightingale in the lamp of the flower.

This profound couplet speaks about the essence of passionate love. Mir Taqi Mir suggests that love itself is the source of illumination, the oil for the lamp. Our emotions, our deepest feelings—like the blood of a nightingale singing for its beloved—are what bring color and light to the world, much like the fragrance of the flowers. True passion is the fuel of existence.
