Ishq Hai Ishq Karne Walon Ko — Mir Taqi Mir

इश्क़ है इश्क़ करने वालों को कैसा कैसा बहम किया है इश्क़
— Mir Taqi Mir

Meaning

Love is such a thing that for those who experience it, it creates many illusions.

Explanation

This beautiful couplet encapsulates the profound, sometimes bewildering nature of true love. Mir Taqi Mir suggests that love itself is a complex mystery, especially for those who dare to fall for it. He asks, 'What kind of illusion has love created?' It’s a philosophical questioning of passion—the way it blinds us, makes us believe in things that might not be real, yet it is utterly irresistible. It speaks to the depth and the dizzying heights of the heart.
