जब से बाज़ार में है तुझ सी मता' भीड़ ही रहती है दुकानों पर
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning

Since you are in the market, there is always a crowd at the shops.

Explanation

Mir Taqi Mir suggests that since the beloved entered his life, everything around him—the market, the shops, even the general atmosphere—has become vibrant and crowded. It speaks to the irresistible pull of beauty and love; just as a beautiful stall draws a crowd, the beloved's mere existence makes life itself a spectacle!
