Uthti Hai Mauj Har Yak Aghos Hi Ki Surat — Mir Taqi Mir
उठती है मौज हर यक आग़ोश ही की सूरत
दरिया को है ये किस का बोस ओ कनार ख़्वाहिश
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
A wave rises from the image of every embrace; to whom does this river belong, or whose desire is the shore?
Explanation

He then questions the origin of this longing: is this restless desire for the river, or is it for the peaceful shore? It's a philosophical query on the source of our deepest passions and desires.
