ग़ज़ल 'मीर' की कब पढ़ाई नहीं
कि हालत मुझे ग़श की आई नहीं
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
How is it that I never studied the ghazal of 'Mir'? That my condition did not bring me into a state of ecstasy. (Literal meaning: When have I not read the ghazal of 'Mir', that my condition did not bring me into a state of ecstasy.)
Explanation
This profound couplet captures the state of emotional intoxication—the kind of feeling where intellectual pursuits become impossible. The poet suggests that when one is overwhelmed by deep emotion, or love, the mind simply cannot focus on studying poetry, even the work of a master like 'Mir.' It's a beautiful declaration that heart's turmoil trumps all academic effort.
