अश्जार होवें ख़ामा-ओ-आब-ए-सियह-बेहार
लिखना न तो भी हो सके उस की सिफ़ात का
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
The tears are like fragrant rain, the black water of spring; it is impossible to write down the description of its virtues.
Explanation
This magnificent couplet speaks to the sublime beauty of the beloved or the subject matter itself. Mir Taqi Mir says that the qualities (sifaat) of this being are so extraordinary that even the elements—the trees, the fragrance, and the deep, rainy waters of spring—cannot adequately describe them. It suggests a beauty that transcends mere description, existing in a realm of perfect, indescribable perfection.
