Khat Likhte Likhte Mir Ne Daftar Kiye Ravan — Mir Taqi Mir
ख़त लिखते लिखते 'मीर' ने दफ़्तर किए रवाँ
इफ़रात-ए-इश्तियाक़ ने आख़िर बढ़ाई बात
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
As 'Mir' wrote letters, his mind became in a flow. Excessive yearning finally caused his words to overflow.
Explanation
Mir Taqi Mir beautifully captures the irresistible force of love. He says that while writing letters to his beloved, he abandoned his professional duties. Why? Because his excessive longing (ishq) finally became too intense to ignore. This couplet speaks to how powerful emotion can completely derail a person's life, making worldly responsibilities seem utterly meaningless.
