Thi Saab Aashiqui Ki Badaayat Hi Mir Par — Mir Taqi Mir

थी साब आशिक़ी की बदायत ही 'मीर' पर क्या जानिए कि हाल-ए-निहायत को क्या हुआ
— Mir Taqi Mir

Meaning

The poet says that regarding the increase of love, what can he know about what happened to the state of extreme distress.

Explanation

This profound couplet explores the mystery inherent in love. Mir Taqi Mir suggests that the apparent grandeur or 'show' of love was merely superficial. What truly remains unknown, however, is the genuine state or condition of the beloved. It is a poignant reflection on the distance between what is displayed for the world and the fragile reality hidden behind closed eyes.
