बद्र साँ अब आख़िर आख़िर छा गई मुझ पर ये आग वर्ना पहले था मिरा जूँ माह नौ दामन जला
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning

Badr Saan, finally, this fire has spread over me, whereas previously, my nine garments were burned.

Explanation

This powerful couplet speaks to the overwhelming intensity of love. Mir Taqi Mir suggests that the current fire consuming him is so intense, it feels like a final, defining moment. He implies that his passion isn't new; he has already burned through his entire life's worth—his 'nine yards'—in just a short span of time. It's a declaration of profound, relentless, and consuming devotion.
