Aab-e-shamshir-e-qayamat Hai Burinda Uski — Mir Taqi Mir
आब-ए-शमशीर-ए-क़यामत है बुरिंदा उस की
ये गवाराई नहीं पाते हैं हर पानी में
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
The water of the sword of doomsday is sharp, tearing at her, and not every water can be accepted by her.
Explanation
This profound couplet speaks of a unique, almost dangerous essence. Mir Taqi Mir suggests that the 'water of the sword of Qayamat' (the water of the apocalypse) is leaking from the beloved. This isn't just any water; it's so potent, so overwhelming, that ordinary waters cannot contain or replicate its depth. It speaks to an intense, transformative love that changes everything it touches.
