सब तरहें उस की अपनी नज़र में थीं क्या कहें
पर हम भी हो गए हैं गिरफ़्तार एक तरह
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
Literally, it means that she was in all ways in her own sight; what can we say? But we too have been captured in a certain way.
Explanation
This couplet beautifully captures the paradox of love. The poet acknowledges that the beloved's actions might only be a reflection of their own whim or perspective. Yet, despite this intellectual understanding, the lover admits that they have been completely and magically captured. It speaks to that beautiful, irrational surrender—the moment when logic fails and pure emotion takes over.
