Ne Kuch Gunah Hai Dil Ka — Mir Taqi Mir
ने कुछ गुनह है दिल का ने जुर्म-ए-चश्म इस में
रखती है हम को इतना बे-इख़्तियार ख़्वाहिश
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
Whether it is some fault of the heart or the sin of the eyes, this desire holds us so helplessly captive.
Explanation
This powerful couplet explores the irresistible nature of love, suggesting that the very gaze (जुर्म-ए-चश्म) of the beloved is inherently sinful. The poet argues that this gaze, coupled with the yearning of the heart, creates a desire so intense that it becomes uncontrollable. It’s a beautiful acknowledgment of the beautiful chaos that love brings, where sin and passion are inseparable.
