Love itself is a style and manner, which belongs to love; sometimes the lover, and sometimes the beloved, is love.

This profound couplet speaks to the universal nature of love (Ishq). Mir Taqi Mir suggests that love doesn't adhere to simple rules; it has its own unique style and form. It challenges us to see that the object of our affection can be interpreted in two ways—sometimes it is a mortal human being, and sometimes, it is the divine itself. It's a beautiful meditation on the spectrum of devotion.
