जब नाम तिरा लीजिए तब चश्म भर आवे
इस ज़िंदगी करने को कहाँ से जिगर आवे
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
When I take your name, tears overflow; where do I find the heart to live this life?
Explanation
This profound couplet captures the agony of overwhelming love. Mir Taqi Mir describes a paradox: the very act of remembering the beloved's name (your name) brings forth tears. The emotion is so intense that he questions the source of his strength—where does he find the courage (jigar) to continue living this life? It's a beautiful surrender to passion, where existence itself feels unbearable without the beloved.
